The Duke Spirit - Win Your Love
One of my favorite shows on television is The Conan O’Brien show, hosted by, you guessed it, Conan O’Brien. Not only is he funny (his antics are hilarious and sometimes wild), but he has great taste in music. At the end of each show there is a musical performance and more often than not, the music artist is from the indie side of the music industry, or someone that is up and coming. I discovered a number of music artists watching his show, but perhaps my favorite so far is The Duke Spirit.
The Duke Spirit is an English rock band headed by Leila Moss. When you hear Leila sing, she’ll sort of make you think of what Bjork might sound like had she traveled down a different musical path and decided to take up rock. In fact, their voices are very similar. I had the pleasure of seeing The Duke Spirit live and it was nothing short of amazing. They really go all out. One of my favorite songs from them is Win Your Love from their first album Cuts Across The Land. Leila and her band captures perfectly the feeling of watching someone take the person who is closest to your heart, having you question not only that person, but yourself. Enjoy.

So happy fat
