The Dukes of Stratosphear was a pseudonym used by the British rock band XTC in the mid to late 1980s, concurrently with XTC's continued musical activities.[1] The project was intended as a homage to 1960s pop and psychedelic music by groups such as The Beatles, The Byrds, The Kinks, The Zombies, The Beach Boys, The Small Faces, Jefferson Airplane, Pink Floyd and The Pretty Things.[citation needed]
The band released two records under this pseudonym, the mini-album 25 O'Clock (1985), and the full-length album Psonic Psunspot (1987).[1] The two releases were compiled onto a single CD under the title Chips from the Chocolate Fireball: An Anthology, which was released simultaneously with the vinyl issue of Psonic Psunspot. The Dukes were also mentioned in the credits of XTC's 1986 album Skylarking, where they were thanked for the loan of their guitars.
In 1991, Andy Partridge produced two tracks, "It's Snowing Angels" and "Then She Appeared", intended to be released as a hoax flexidisc attached to the cover of Strange Things Are Happening magazine. Although credited to fictional bands "Big Chief Cigar Choc Champion" and "The Golden", these tracks were a continuation of the Dukes recorded oeuvre in all but name. The magazine folded before the single could be pressed, although "Then She Appeared" would later be reworked for the Nonsuch album. "It's Snowing Angels" would be released in 1994 via John Flansburgh's Hello Recording Club (this time credited to the Dukes), and both tracks were included on the Fuzzy Warbles anthology.
Several sequels were proposed but ultimately abandoned, including the mock rock opera The Great Royal Jelly Scandal, an animated feature film of 25 O'Clock, a 'prequel' album as "The Mersey Dukes", and a glam rock parody as "The Stratosphear Band". In 1992, XTC proposed a spiritual successor to the Dukes in the form of The Bubblegum Album, a compilation of mocked-up one-hit-wonder 1970s pop singles. The album was half completed but rejected by Virgin. This rejection was one of the main contributing factors to the seven-year feud between the band and Virgin. Several of these tracks were reworked and released on various XTC albums and compilations.
The 2002 XTC rarities compilation Coat of Many Cupboards premiered a hitherto unheard 20-second section of narration recorded for Psonic Psunspot but not used. This does not appear on any other XTC/Dukes release.
The band briefly reformed in 2003, to record the track "Open A Can (Of Human Beans)" for the MS Society charity compilation album The Wish List. This track later reappeared on the Fuzzy Warbles anthology and the re-release of 25 O'Clock.
In 2008 Andy Partridge recorded a promotional single for Eurostar as The Dukes - "Tin Toy Clockwork Train" - which was given away free at railway stations. This, and a rejected earlier attempt - "Black Jewelled Serpent Of Sound" - were added to 25 O'Clock for its 2009 re-release.
On 20 April 2009 both records were released on CD for the first time in their own right - along with demo recordings, bonus tracks and brand new sleeve notes from the band. These editions are credited to "XTC as The Dukes of Stratosphear" and were released on Andy Partridge's Ape House record label (they are also the first XTC recordings to which Virgin Records have relinquished the rights).

looks like a weird scenario is rising: Mr. B. could be ahead.
i decide to go out and these are that afternoon's pictures, spent listening to the car radio.
Sorry if it grosses some of you out.
This was me after I broke my neck July 25,1999 in Austin Texas. I broke C-2, filleted my scalp to the bone, broke seven teeth, pushed my top left tooth out (facing forward) about 3/8 of an inch, cracked my left bottom wisdom tooth in half… with the nerve exposed (there wasn’t a dentist that would touch me with a ten foot pole wearing a neck brace), pulled all the muscles in my chest and had many scrapes and bruises.
I spent four days in ICU that I remember very little of. I do remember the doctor wanting to place me in a halo and me begging him not to. I remember very little of the ride home or the first week, week and a half at home. I don’t remember this photo being taken or who made it. I could not sleep lying down so I slept in a recliner, that I still have, for 12 weeks. I couldn’t drive for about five months and had a hard time walking for several weeks.
So… how did I break it? Diving into a swimming pool. My wife and I were standing at one end and at the other end were the depth markings. I thought the pool was eight feet deep. It was three feet deep. I’m six foot tall. You don’t need to know trigonometry to figure that out.
He ran as soon as he saw the camera pointing in his direction and I had to chase him in my wheelchair to get two quick shots before he dashed across the street...
I just returned from a trip to Kazakhstan. I had only the chance to make some photos of Astana, the capital. It was a unprecedented -25 degrees celcius that day. I never experienced so much cold in my life. I took mainly shots from the warmth and convert of the inside of a car. With this photo i tried to show the cold.
