DUNES are:
John Davies – Guitar/Vocals
Ade Huggins – Bass/Vocals
Nikky Watson – Drums

DUNES were invented in the warmer periods of 2016 by several earth dwellers poorly masquerading as human beings in the city of Newcastle. They play dessert-riff-blues-tinted-disco-tinged-rock, which draws on influences such as Queens of the Stone Age, Torche, Death From Above 1979 and Clutch.
DUNES second EP is due for release 23rd of February 2018 and was recorded during November 2017 at The Sand Castle in Newcastle with Graham Thompson, who has previously worked with Frankie and the Heartstrings, Jimmy Floyd Hasslebaind, Kubicheck and Jinn. They have received airplay on numerous radio stations around the UK and have featured on BBC Introducing Newcastle.

Since the band started playing live in late 2016 racking up a fair number of gigs in their native Newcastle and further afield. During 2017 DUNES shared the stage with many bands, most notably: Red Fang, Mutation, Idles, Monster Magnet, Estrons, Lionize and Holy Fuck.
