Luis Dubuc is a metalhead. You'd never know it from the synth-fried beats of his band, the Secret Handshake. It's the latest in a string of electro-emo major-label success stories out of the Dallas area - Mr. Dubuc's lived in Coppell since he was 14 - and his music has elements of most of those others (the Rocket Summer, PlayRadioPlay!, Forever the Sickest Kids, Metro Station (uh, sort of), etc.). His particular touch is to harden it up a bit and add a dash of trance and sludge. Both his debut EP (Summer of '98) and full length (One Full Year) came out last year. Judging from the 1,200 or so that are clapping their hands in unison in front of him now - many of whom, he says, claim that they didn't realize he was from the area until they were already fans - he's chipped out a cool niche for himself. Oh yeah, that metalhead point that I made? He lived in Venezuela until he was 9, and in Venezuela in the early 1990, metal topped the pop heap. Also: he was drummer for area metalcore act Thirty Called Arson before Drowning Pool caused the bottom to fall out of the metal scene in Dallas for a while. Hmph!. |
