Biography
Shawn Duncan was born on May 6, 1964, to Lanny and Anita Duncan in Los Angeles, California. Lanny Duncan was notable for co-writing (along with his brother Robert) the 1962 song Let's Go (Pony) by The Routers. [2] The song charted on No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100,[3] No. 27 on Cashbox and No. 32 on the UK Singles Chart.
When Shawn young, he would take out his mom’s pots, pans and Tupperware and bang on them. Because his father was a songwriter and performer, and Shawn would watch the various drummers. His first drum set was a makeshift Ludwig of various colors and parts. Shawn raised listening to a lot of Chicago and Motown, and was influenced by Steve Smith, John Bonham, Cozy Powell, Alex Van Halen, Roger Taylor, Keith Moon and Bill Ward. http://metalliville.co.uk/bankup/INTERVIEWS%20Folder/Shawn%20Duncan.htm
Shawn got his start in the Los Angeles-based band Odin alongside brother Jeff Duncan on guitar. The band self-released the three-song EP Caution! in 1983, followed by the six-song mini-LP, Don't Take No for an Answer, on the local Half-Wet label in 1985. A promotional video was shot for the song "Shining Love." Odin would sign a deal with RCA/Victor for the Japan only release of their 1987 full-length debut, Fight For Your Life. The band infamously appeared in the 1988 documentary, The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years, and issued another six-song mini-LP, The Gods Must Be Crazy, that same year before breaking up.[4]
