For about 40 years, Keanan Duffty has built a long and award-winning career in fashion design. The New Yorker by way of Doncaster, England, started his own fashion label under his name in 1998, dressed the Sex Pistols for their 2003 U.S. tour, and collaborated with David Bowie in 2007 on a clothing line inspired by the legendary rocker for Target. Additionally, Duffty is the founding Program Director of the Masters in Professional Studies-Fashion Management at the Parsons School of Design. But amid his impressive resume in fashion, Duffty never forgot the other creative passion in his life since the late 1970s: making music.
Duffty's current project is the band Slinky Vagabond, which the British singer and songwriter fronts with Italian musician and producer Fabio Fabbri. The sound of their new album King Boy Vandals (due out December 6 on CD and vinyl) recalls '70s glam rock, '80s New Wave and post-punk, and '90s alternative rock augmented by electronic music influences. Further shoring up the band's sound,King Boy Vandals also features guest appearances by the likes of Midge Ure (Ultravox), Tony Bowers (Simply Red, the Durutti Column), Richard Fortus (Love Spit Love, Guns N’ Roses), Dave Formula (Magazine), and Martin Turner (Wishbone Ash).
