DYNASTY ELECTRIC

Hourglass

Add to My Profile Dynasty Electric is a Brooklyn-based art-dance rock band. The group first came together in 2002, and has seen several incarnations ranging from punk jazz trio to electro-pop duo to dance-rock four piece. Dynasty was founded by Seth Misterka, a free-jazz-rock saxophonist who has played with Anthony Braxton, William Parker, Shy Child, Hot Chip, and Aarktica, among others and lead vocalist Jennifer DeVeau. In 2008, Dynasty was joined by Chad Hodge on drums and Valerie Sauve on bass.
"Dynasty Electric seem poised to be NYC's next art rock darlings, and it's easy to see why. First off, they dress like The Carpenters on a bender, and this makes them unusually attractive. Second, this band shows off some serious musical chops (and all the attitude that comes with them) in creating their feisty blend of dance, punk, electronica and so forth. Multi-instrumentalist Seth Misterka works his guitar into a frenzy and punk goddess Jennifer DeVeau soaks her vocals with a fem-rock attitude that hasn't sounded relevant since the late '70s." -Philip Stone, Splendid
