"The Duck Thieves supported The Specials on their triumphal return playing Coventry Cathedral ruins, and they warmed up the crowd very nicely with their brand of funky alternative dance, prank-rock, and downright groovy tunes. I was impressed enough to track down their latest release: Dance Like A Duck Thief.

Duck Thieves – the name originates from the first film ever to be shot in Hong Kong called ‘Stealing a Roasted Duck’ (sadly no extant copies exist) – were formed by front man Justin Wing Chung Hui, Michelle Bailey-Le Long and Cait Buckley. On this EP the trio have been joined by Jessamy Davis and Steven Shelley Duck Thieves create really cool grooves with funk and soul and some punk power pop thrown in and the interplay between male and female vocals is brilliantly done. Live they are prone to prank-rock antics that add to the great sense of mischief and fun. In those great grooves and entertainment though, the themes are feminism, individualism, anti-racism, anti-sexist and the simple, yet uplifting message to some lost and desperate teen who may be listening to this music, that it’s OK to be different."
