DUENOW

From the acid-washed strip malls of suburban Midwestern nowhere, from the ditch-weed and porn-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 duo perform a dizzying blend of genres 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, 'If You Could Only See What They Are Doing To You', DUENOW received an enormous reaction from audiences and press alike.
Zach Duenow graduated 17th from the bottom of his high school class, got beat up by football players, collected scabs, wore the obligatory black goth outfit, shaved a Mohawk with a Bic razor, dropped acid, and donned a black leather jacket that read, "I'm gonna kill myself today" on the back?no one ever stopped to ask.
Dot Duenow spent her formative years in Indiana, where shoplifting, Lee Nails, and ditch weed were considered recreation. After skipping most of her freshman and sophomore year, she was invited to partake in a state sponsored governmental experiment - a public boarding institution for gifted (read: socially stunted) high school students.
After college and several years of corporate hell, Zach and Dot placed career suicide letters on the desks of their superiors, and drove from Chicago to Costa Rica to live. There, they found something genuine in themselves that they could offer the world.
?Maybe we were inspired by the people in Central America that everyone said would shoot us and steal our truck. Maybe it was the ocean. Whatever it was, it answered our questions about what we're doing here. We're entertainers... our biography, the best way we know how to say it, is on our records and in our shows.?
