Dufus

Dufus will be on tour in support of their new album “In Monstrous Attitude,” released on ROIR, NYC (Bad Brains, Dub Trio, Television). They will be taking Spring and Autumn tours through Europe and the US. Two new music videos for the album are in the works. Seth Faergolzia planted the Dufus seed in 1996 when he was given access to a multitrack studio in New York. In 1997, Seth and Grahm Dion collaborated to make Eee*Lai*Font, and that autumn, Dufus performed their first official show as a band. Since then, Dufus has been in continual flux, exploring every experimental and creative direction, utilizing musicians of a wide variety of backgrounds to build a solid reputation for fresh ideas while Seth offered compositions that stretched the music’s boundaries to include all those involved. Over the past 11 years there have been at least 100 members. As the years have progressed, the band has been met with increasing critical acclaim, abroad and at home with plans for increased tour schedule and a number of releases, including a stream of consciousness puppet rock opera DVD, “23 Psaegz,” to be released early in 2010.
Dufus have graced the stage with such acts as Regina Spektor, Kimya Dawson (Juno Soundtrack), Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Ween, Animal Collective, Moldy Peaches, Herman Dune, Low, Kool Keith, Dub Trio, Cerberus Shoal, Adam Green, Usaisamonster, Jeffrey Lewis, Moe., John Brown’s Body, Diane Cluck, Friska Viljor, Cornershop, Major Matt Mason, Langhorne Slim, Of Montreal, O’death, Akron/Family, and the Black Dice.
PRESS
“For those who like Frank Zappa but wish he had been weirder, Dufus plays frantic fever-dream folk slashed through with rock stabs. The band has ties to the local anti-folk scene, but Dufus’ extrapolations are bigger and more ambitious than those of, say, The Moldy Peaches. It’s hard to think of a style not at least touched upon on Dufus’ new 1:3:1, but the group’s woozy delirium somehow makes it sound more cohesive than it probably should. Past opening stints for Ween should sound a signal, but even Ween must have scratched their heads a time or two.”
