August 1, 2004 - The Duke's showcase performance at the 2004 Atlantis Music Conference has led to discussions with a New York-based company. Initial indications are that this tree will bear some fruit. Based on these developments the band has returned to the studio to write and record at least three new songs.

July 24, 2004 - The Duke performed their first hometown show at Smith's Old Bar as part of the 2004 Atlantis Music Conference - one of the industry's premier music events. The set list was as follows:

• Used To Be
• Never Coming Back
• (Show You) The Way
• Running
• In Your Eyes (Peter Gabriel)
• I Give To You

Being only their second live performance this show was kept way under the radar. Despite not being heavily promoted by the band or its management there was enough buzz to draw a good crowd including a handful of industry notables.

July 4, 2004 - The Duke debuted their live show in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada. You've probably heard about bands playing low-profile, unpromoted shows to work the bugs out. Well, The Duke and company set the bar for the rest of the industry by taking the show 1500 miles north and out of the country! The club had a western motif and was named "Cowboy's." So, being from the south, at least the band didn't feel too out of place. Thankfully, the show went smoothly and the next gig shouldn't require a passport.
