Finally, for those of you that have seen HT faves The Felice Brothers over the last few months, you may have noticed the absence of Simon Felice from his usual spot behind the drum kit. Despite his surprise appearance at the band’s show last Friday night at Webster Hall, the drummer/vocalist/novelist has decided to take a break from the band to concentrate on his solo project The Duke & King. Simon, through a heartfelt open letter, revealed the rather sad circumstances behind his decision to leave The Felice Brothers and background on the material for his new band. The Duke & The King will make their New York City debut at Brooklyn’s Union Hall on May 20.
