Formed in Coventry, they write songs that are inspired by personal story-telling, feminism, standing up to racism and B-Movies. On stage, the band exude an explosive energy, captivating stage presence and unpredictable theatrics. 

Duck Thieves have played on the main stage at Godiva Festival and supported The Specials at their homecoming gig at Coventry Cathedral ruins.

They have released several singles and EPs to critical acclaim including 'Act One', 'Dance Like a Duck Thief' and 'In Liverpool We’ll Barn Dance'.
