Their style is based on an acoustic and simple pop-rock with a touch of rockabilly in great contrast with the more radical rock played in the area at the time. After being hired by 'Grabaciones Accidentales, S.A.' they contributed with two songs (Mi Amor and Bésame Mucho) to the new bands compilation La única alternativa (The Only Alternative).

Homenaje a DuncanDhu en su veinte aniversario
Hace 20 años DuncanDhu comenzaba su exitosa andadura, un aniversario que dieciséis bandas de distinto signo, desde La Cabra Mecánica a La Oreja de Van Gogh, han querido celebrar cantando sus canciones en un disco de homenaje titulado como uno de sus temas más exitosos, "Cien gaviotas dónde irán".
Bio: Pop-meets-rockabilly group DuncanDhu were formed in San Sebastian in 1984 by musicians Mikel Erentxun, Diego Vasallo, and Juan Ramon Viles.
DuncanDhu's sophomore release, El Grito del Tiempo, met and exceeded the high sales expectations set by its predecessor, selling around 400,000 copies in 1987.
Vasallo followed suit with Cabaret Pop shortly thereafter, and DuncanDhu were put on hold while the bandmembers branched out to explore their solo careers.
