ABOUT
DINOWALRUS is a three-person drum n' drone band out of Brooklyn, NY. Its current live incarnation began 2006, when Pete and Kyle met while simultaneously attempting to stalk Andrew WK at a To Live and Shave in LA show. As an experimental noise/glam recording project, it goes back to 2003. Josh fell off the boat from Belgium and onto the drum throne in late 2007
In an attempt to capture some of the spontaneity of their improvisational instincts, retain the complex spatiality of their recorded experiments, and transcend the limited sonic palette that plagues most three-piece bands, Dinowalrus re-invents their instrumentation with every song. Some tunes feature dueling Lee n' Thurston guitar interplay between Pete and Kyle, some feature Kyle frantically playing the bass, sampler and synthesizer simultaneously, and others revolve around Josh drumming toe-to-toe with a booty-licious electronic beat. The band relies heavily on the use of self-sustaining electronic devices to push its sound into cosmic brain-melting freak-outs, ass-shaking kraut-grooves, lush atmospheric haze, and/or juvenile twee-skronk. These devices include an optical theremin, a sampler, and a 1983 Roland analogue synth named Marc Bolan.
Since their inception in the fall of 2007, Dinowalrus tirelessly played over fifty shows around New York City at venues ranging from well-loved underground art lofts such as Market Hotel, Death By Audio and Silent Barn to esteemed clubs including the Knitting Factory, Mercury Lounge, Cake Shop and the Music Hall of Williamsburg.
They have shared the stage with notable noise-punk luminaries including Health, A Place to Bury Strangers, Titus Andronicus, These Are Powers, The Mae Shi, and Parts & Labor.
Later in 2008, they also had a chance to play the Halleluwah Festival at the Knitting Factory with their late-60s dance-drone idols, The Silver Apples; the blogger-curated After the Jump Fest with Ponytail and Chairlift; and a year-end show with eccentric new-waver Gary Wilson.
In February 2009, they self-released their first 7" single, which featured insert artwork that was designed by Pete and screen-printed by their friend Ian Graezter of Titus Andronicus. In March 2009 they released a split 7" with Melbourne, Australia's Bachelor of Arts on EXO records (Japanther, Apache Beat, The Slits).
In support of the 7"s, they completed a DIY two-week tour in March, 2009 with Bachelor of Arts that included three shows at SXSW in Austin, TX.
