Without a doubt, the musical universe of New Rules Duo will do you good in a moment of pause.
After a huge success in Cyprus and on social media, New Rules Duo was spotted by an agent in the United States and was offered a tour in America! What started as a 2-week tour quickly turned into 5 weeks due to overwhelming interest from the venues. They landed in Chicago on November 1 and immediately set to work with preparations and rehearsals for their debut a few days later. |
With Dominik on guitar and vocals and Celia on lead vocals and a full house eager to see this duo, they certainly did not disappoint. They are definitely a talented duo. Dom wowed the audience with breathtaking riffs and Celia left the audience impressed with her outstanding voice and wide range. Their talent separately is indescribable but together they are perfection. They have engaged with the audience and you can clearly see their special bond. The audience absolutely loved them and this was just the beginning of their 5 week tour!

Place after place, they left their mark. Many of them immediately booked them for a return concert before they even left the country. New Rules Duo also spent 5 days in New York to meet more contacts after news broke about this new Duo in town!
After taking America by storm during those 5 weeks, they have already booked to return next year for what promises to be even bigger and better. They have to perform at a paid event in a theater in Chicago that can seat a thousand people.

Performing songs by everyone from iconic talents like Guns N’ Roses and Gnarls Barkley, to Christ Stapleton and Chaka Khan, all to way to the likes of Ed Sheeran and relative newcomer Finneas, “Road To Rendition” takes you on a whimsical nostalgic trip as they mould sultry soul, big band pop and lounge-club jazz to create eclectic new spins on classic hits that’ll have you up on your feet and beckoning the stranger across the bar to join you for a dance that’ll take you late into the night. If you’re ready to get your groove on, start yourself off with New Rules Duo’s latin-inspired take on Ed Sheeran’s “Bad Habits”.
Of course it’s not just Celia’s vocals that shine on “Road To Rendition” as we found ourselves utterly compelled to take another run through the album just to get another listen to Dominik’s harrowing take on Finneas’ “Break My Heart Again”. His natural rasp accompanied by a beautiful piano arrangement on the track left us feeling like we were on the shores of Cyprus and sitting across from our agápi, utterly enamoured after a romantic candlelit dinner.
Certainly we could go on about the tantalizing way “Road To Rendition” weaves itself in and out of your heartstrings, but it might better serve you to grab the record and choose your favourite artist from the list instead.

Interview with New Rules Duo | Multi Award Winning International Duo!

: How would you describe yourself in one word? Unique!
Q: Why do you feel this is the ideal profession for you? Music is in our blood! We couldn’t imagine a day without music in it. We are both very passionate about what we do and work extremely hard to make each and every gig/event as unforgettable as the next. We get to see and travel to some amazing places and meet wonderful people too. During the summer season we perform mainly at weddings and so its very important to us to build lasting relationships. Being a musician isn’t just about singing or playing an instrument. It is also how you connect with your audience too. As a duo, we are very fortunate to be best friends first and foremost. Having a great friendship is vital when performing and can be seen and felt by all that come to watch our shows. Q: Your latest upcoming Ep? Our latest EP is our cover album called ‘Road to Rendition’. All 12 tracks are completely unique and are our ‘rendition’ of the songs. All the songs were also recorded from scratch, including all the instruments, by us in Dom’s recording studio in Paphos Cyprus. It took a lot of hard work, blood, sweat and tears but we are very happy with the finished product! Q: What's the response you expect from your fans about your Ep? We released ‘Road to Rendition’ on the 1st November 2022 and it has already had thousands of views on all social media platforms and growing! We were also interviewed on a local radio station regarding our album which was a great honour. After our recent 5 week tour in the USA, where we also promoted our album, we have seen our numbers grow even more. Q: Your favorite song? It’s very hard to pick just one from our EP because they are all amazing!! But if we had to choose one I guess that would be ‘Sweet Child o Mine’. This song has great meaning to us. At the start of the song we added the sound of an airplane and this symbolises our journey to the US for our tour. Which was a very exciting time. It also symbolises the many more tours, destinations and opportunities to come. |
Q: Can you please tell us about the most successful project you have worked on.
As we mentioned above, we were absolutely delighted to be able to go on a 5 week tour in the USA. After a lot of planning, we were booked to perform at many venues across Illinois and the neighbouring states. So with our passion and love for what we do we travelled from Sunny Cyprus to the land of dreams! Each venue was fully booked and we received amazing comments and compliments after each and every performance. Performing in the US is like nowhere else! It really was a dream come true! We are very excited to return again this year. Q: What is your dream project? Whilst in Chicago we had the opportunity to see many live performances. Such as Joe Bonamassa and Steve Vai! They left us in awe. A huge dream for us is to perform in a large theatre, like the Chicago theatre. ‘A night with New Rules’! A ticketed event in such a breath-taking location would feel amazing. We do a lot to raise money for charities and do what we can to help those in need. This would also be a dream for us. To be big enough to be able to give large amounts of money to charities that could really make a difference. Life is about helping others and to be in a position to be able to do that would mean a great deal. Celia’s brother suffered many years with MS and unfortunately passed away a couple of years ago and so it is very personal to us to help where we can. Q: What are some things that you love? Family. Our families mean everything to us. Unfortunately our families live all over the world and so we don’t get to see them very often. A great bonus about travelling to the US was the chance to see Doms family over there too. Celia has 2 daughters which mean the world to her and everything she does is for her children. Being away from family is often hard but luckily we have a great friendship which helps us through. Q: Where do you see yourself in three years from now, or where would you like to be? After our huge success in the US we have already been booked to return again this year and we are going to branch out into other states, including Las Vegas! So look out Vegas, we are coming! We are also in discussions with regards to other destinations worldwide which we will be announcing once they are all confirmed. But the future looks great for us and we are feeling extremely blessed. |

NEW RULES DUO: SWEET DREAMS SEVEN NATION ARMY MASH UP
January 09, 2023
This atmospheric mashup of 2 incredible songs, Seven Nation Army, by the White Stripes, and Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics will truly blow you away.
Some of the sounds have clear roots in classic rock, particularly the ever present improvised sparkling riff which is unrelenting throughout. The real genius in the sound, though, is how they have taken this and wrapped it in a distinctly 60's/70's sound, and with it created a mini masterpiece. Building to a crescendo, dropping out, and building again multiple times with the help of awe-inspiring electric drags; it has a real sense of well thought structure, whilst simultaneously maintaining the rawness that gives it such charm.
The angelic female backing vocals add a slight calmness to the sound, whilst track transports you to another world, it brings you on an experience, and takes you on an adventure through this talented duo's musical mind, it would truly fit perfectly in a movie.
Towards the end of the song all instrumentation stops and the raw vocals ring out once more. "Sweet Dreams are made of this" and the track fades out with the atmospheric sounds of cars driving by. This adds to the cinematic aspects previously mentioned.
