Artist History Duel 77 traces its roots back to Qwirk, which existed in 1998.Logan founded Qwirk with Doug.Qwirk consisted of Logan on guitar, Kevin on bass, Adam on vocals and Doug on drums. Then two years later Logan and Doug formed Down for the Count(a cover band) with Eric on bass and Kaveh on vocals. Over the summer Chris joined on Guitar. But at the end of the summer Doug had to leave for college, and thus Down for the Count was literally down for the count.Then Logan and Chris wrote some new songs for a new band that included Eric and Kaveh and the lunch lady on drums to replace Doug. That very band is Duel 77. Duel 77 has gone on to play many shows and many venues across many l ands. Their prestige graced many a teenage pop punker and changed their lives forever. Duel 77 experienced much hijinks when Chris did a brief but memorable stint in Military school in Montana. Duel franticly searched for a replacment guitarists. Much like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Duel was unable to recapture the magic that was brought about when they were graced with Chris' presence. Nado stood in until Chris triumpantly returned in the summer of 2001. This was a tough time for the band, which was going through the next phase in all of their lives. Chris was brainwashed by the Military school which he attended and ended up enlisting in the Navy, and had precious few weeks before he would depart. Logan was at UCLA studying econ and debating his descision of going on his mission. Kaveh went to Art school, and grew out a Fro. Eric went to an intensive training in the Culinary School in SF and the Lunch Lady was still in High School. All the lost souls that made Duel 77 met up again on the eve of New Years 2002, and played their last show at a party at the house of Kevin, of Live Long Day. Sparks flew, and old flames rekindled, as Duel 77 played the night away. In no more than 6 months time, Chris went off to boot camp, Logan went on his mission to Brazil, Eric was accepted to Humbolt, and the Lunch Lady mysteriously disappeared. He was found in the fall of 02 in a van down by the river. Mystery Meat was the cause of death. Kaveh was the only memeber left who frequented Lafayette. He continues to attend Art School and Jams on Duel songs every now and then and remebers a time was life was simple and about 1 thing: jammin with Duel. The legacy of Duel 77 lives on in to this day throughout Contra costa county, in the hearts of all the kids that saw Duel in their Heyday, and more importantly, in the band room. To this day the public was unaware that a second EP was recorded, but never released, in the summer of 2001 This EP contained all new material and displayed the influence of Funk and the first song writing efforts of Kaveh. It was a fun EP and could have made them big, unfortunately, Fate did not allow this. Duel 77 never officially broke up, so keep your ear to the grape vine, in case of a reunion show until then, DO THE DUEL!!!! Love Kaveh in 2003
