Artist Info: Duresse

Duresse was a Boston based band consisting of former Wheat member Ricky Brennan Jr. (vocals, guitars, keyboards), and life-long friends Brad Archer (bass, guitars, vocals) and Derek Dutra (drums, vocals). Duresse self-released a 7-song EP in 2005 entitled 'Elate'.

Duresse had begun around 2000 while Ricky was still with Wheat, originally as an acoustic-based duo with Dutra, as a vehicle for Brennan's solo material. Brad Archer became involved over the next few years, and the band occasionally performed around the Boston area. [read more...]
