"Duncan Bruce is a treasure. He records under and|or goes by a bewildering array of monikers and pseudonyms: Pubes.. Khalil Rahmane & The Cats of Ulthar.. K. Rahmane.. Kin Rahmane.. Rahmane.. Duicide.. Abnu.. and Dantor, to name but a few. He has an encyclopaedic knowledge of jazz and modern music. He is virtually unknown in his own country, but loved -- and legendary -- in the rest of the world. He books gigs and doesn't turn up to play. He releases albums of shambolic noise and weird retardo-exotica on respectable underground imprints in Western Europe (Veglia). He has an ambigious relationship with publicity -- about two incomprehensible Dutch-language 'net interviews -- and he once remarked that "anything beats getting mentioned in Real Groove or NZ Musician". He was run out of the northern Afghanistani province of Kunduz on a rail, for allegedly interfering with their chickens. He's the coolest dad I know." -- by seht
