Duane Peters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Duane Peters is a punk rock singer/songwriter and professional skateboarder. He is credited for inventing many tricks, such as the acid drop into a pool/bowl, the layback rollout, the indy air, sweepers, and the fakie thruster.

Peters was named Transworld Skateboarding's "Legend" in 2003. He still rides for Pocket Pistols Skates, and also a subdivision of the Black Label Skateboards called Emergency. In May 2005, Black Label Skateboards released a biographic film in the vein of Dogtown and Z-Boys, entitled Who Cares: The Duane Peters Story.

Along with skateboarding, Peters is a very well-known punk rock singer. He has formed bands such as the US Bombs, Political Crap, Duane Peters Gunfight, and Exploding Fuckdolls. He also owns a record label called Disaster Records, which has represents bands such as The Briggs and Civet.

In 2000, Peters formed Duane Peters and The Hunns with Rob Milucky (previously of The Grabbers and The Pushers fame.) Within two years, the band released three full-length albums and undertook both national and European tours. At a The Damned show in 2002, Peters met future wife Corey Parks, who had just left her previous band, Nashville Pussy. Parks joined Duane Peters and the Hunns on bass guitar and soon the band changed their name to Die' Hunns, recorded a fourth full-length album entitled Long Legs, and embarked on another tour.

Peters struggled with drug addictions, mainly heroin, for around ten years. However, he is now clean. Peters is married to Parks, with whom he has a son, Clash Thomas Peters.
