Dinowalrus

Dinowalrus is a band that somehow lives up to its name. A three piece, their music finds freshness in its combination of 80s rock, punk, and drone, which is fairly astounding considering their locale, Brooklyn. To keep it even fresher, the band drastically mixes up instrumentation live.

DW uses all the fun new stuff (sampler, Theremin, etc.) in their tunes pretty convincingly, and reports their ownership of a “1983 Roland analogue synth named ‘Marc Bolan’”. The band has played with some underground hotshots; Titus Andronicus, Michael Jordan, and Ringo Deathstarr to name just a few.

They’ve also landed a show with Ponytail this Saturday at the Music Hall in Williamsburg, as a part of the After The Jump Festival.
