Band Members: Basil Webb...Can you spell "energy"? Here comes Basil - full force - delivering aquamarine sax and action-inspiring lyrics. Basil's powerful voice ranges from smooth and soothing to rough and raucous, pushing the music so your feet can't rest.David Alderdice...Yes ladies and gentlemen, polyrhythms can groove, and we've got proof. Quiet in manner but explosive on stage, David's original and eclectic drumming style blows away the crowd each and every time he plays.Mike Antonovich...The scowling, growling, but deep-down-inside smiling, Dr. Groovemeister is kickin' it from the bottom up. The sweet melodic low-end groove is walkin', runnin', slidin', and skippin' around the fret board.Ted Moniac...Bright, cheery guitar riffs with roots from 50's Americana to modern Afro-pop, from heartfelt single-note to rockin' chord and funk scratch. Ted brings his love of all music to the table, helping expand Dusty Onyx's musical breadth and ability.
Influences: All funk and soul from the 60's and 70's is alright for Dusty. Jazz swings hard and Dusty's down with that. Even the bad funky and heavy stuff like System of a Down and Primus is right on with the band. And we always Diggin' on James Brown. The Meter's ain't no joke either. What ever it is, It's got to be real!
