''the Human Duke Box was a great distraction – type in your track and the band (squeezed into a tiny caravan) are off; Eminem’s own ‘My Name Is’ will now be forever lacking a bicycle horn accompaniment.'' Rockfeedback.com
''In the circumstances, my special award for entertainment under the most adverse conditions goes to the Dukes Box – three blokes performing as a human juke box in a converted 50s caravan. On Friday, we heard Heart of Glass as it would have sounded if Blondie had been a country and western band. Saturday saw the boys perform in skin tight body suits and crash helmets. Sunday's finale was a skiffle version of I See You Baby, performed with cardboard boxes on their heads. And who said the age of surrealism was dead?'' Larmer Tree festival 2007 review
''Highlight for me, though, is the Dukesbox - a band of three inexplicably lycra-clad Welshmen in a large translusent box who play any song from their repertoire of 35 if you push a pound through a slot in the front - an idea of profound genius (though not particularly remunerative, surely?). The Dukes also turn up later on and charge around stage while I'm dJing, which is very wellcome as it gets a little lonely up there...the only other company I have is a particularly convincing stuffed dog who mans the left deck.''
