From the acid-washed strip malls of suburban Midwestern nowhere, from the ditch-weed and ****-filled shoebox under dad's bed, from the muddy graveyards of muscle cars and tortured varmints come the children of Coleco Vision, Reaganomics, and high school shootings. Zach & Dorothea Duenow are the macabre and beautiful mushroom festering on the rot of the American Dream.

The touring duo perform a dizzying blend of genre that ends up sounding something like Eminem, Woodie Guthrie, and The Sex Pistols. Always delivered with manic smiles, their songs paint a picture of a surreal and pornographic Norman Rockwellian world that leaves no skeleton in the closet. Within months of their debut release, DUENOW has received an enormous reaction from audiences and press alike. Their next year will be spent on the road promoting their record and duplicating their Chicago successes in the rest of the country.
