Legendary local heavy rockers The Dames made their mark on the Duluth music scene and beyond from 1996 until 2005. The trio reunited in 2017; they've since played a handful of shows and recently released Detritus, a collection of rarities. We talked with lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter Tony Bennett during The Local on Wednesday, August 14 at 5:30pm and shared some tracks as a preview for their Duluth release show on Saturday, August 17, at Pizza Luce.
