Click above to watch the premiere of the Duke Spirit's new video for "Lassoo," which was shot live at London's 229 Club in November 2007. And here's a bonus! When the English rockers were in New York recently, Rolling Stone chased them downtown to a park and got them to play two acoustic tunes for us. To watch videos of those performances, click below:

"Dog Roses" live in NYC

While we had the Duke Spirit in our clutches, we asked them about the songs they'd performed, and what songs they like to perform to.

RS: Tell us a little bit about the two songs you just played.

Liela Moss: Whenever we've played "Dog Roses" I always think of where we were when we demoed it. We'd gone out of London to really rolling countryside. We were in this isolated little place where we rented somewhere really cheap that we went to go make lots of noise and not get distracted by London. So the words were a bit of a collage – very much me thinking about the first house I grew up in – and about how the memory of that was starting to fade. And just to explore on that idea: the notion that you're starting to forget what you had thought you would never forget. It's starting to mist over and it leaves you with that haunting feeling. And "Step and the Walk" is almost its complete opposite. Even just the title is very much fixed in this position in London: this smelly, trafficky road called Caledonia Road. I was walking home feeling sorry for myself.

RS: What are the three albums that you have played most in your life?

Dan Higgins: London Calling. Exile on Main Street and probably Songs for the Deaf, as well. I've probably played that song to death.

Toby Butler: I'd say Honey's Dead by Jesus & Mary Chain, I've probably played that more than anything. Probably Exile on Main Street as well. And Let It Bleed.

Liela Moss: Queen's Greatest Hits Volume 1. I did have quite a Bjork obsession when I was younger, so probably Homogenic and Debut a ton of times. And Bandwagonesque by a Scottish band called Teenage Fanclub, who are of the same age as like Oasis.

RS: What's your favorite album to make out to? And the critical track.

Liela Moss: I might put on Aretha Franklin's Spirit in the Dark, maybe.

Toby Butler: We could put on something by Napalm Death (laughs)

RS: How did you come up with the Duke Spirit and were there any rejected band names?

Liela Moss: Oh, there were plenty of rejected band names. I've got them on a piece of paper somewhere. They're probably in a box under my bed. I remember thinking it would be, maybe, "Invisible Hams." I remember noting that down a few times. And everyone just going, "What are you on about? Keep quiet." But that was one of about 25. The Duke Spirit came from an unlabeled book. A friend of ours tours a lot and they have a box of stuff from a publishing house to be proofread, so they do it as a favor. It wasn't properly labeled and we didn't really say whose book it was — it was probably a young writer — and we were just flicking through stuff really fast and that just stood out. Those words — the Duke part and the Spirit — have their own noble, slightly-regal, glorious, a bit majestic… And we were so up against it for time. We had a seven-inch coming out the following month and the label was ringing us up going, "If you don't decide by tomorrow, we're just gonna make your name and we've got a couple here." And we were like, "Don't you dare!" So that was the best we got that week, so we just stuck with it.

RS: Why should people listen to the Duke Spirit?

Liela Moss: Well, there's no reason not to. Don't they want to be healed? Don't they want to be excited? Don't they want to be turned on? Don't they want to be set free?
