The Dactyls

slow, inexorable crawl into regional history

About Me

Channeling the glory days of early 90’s guitar rock, The Dactyls employ alternate tunings and inverted phrasings to create densely textured, off-kilter pop songs. With slippery guitars, a churning bass, and dynamic drums, The Dactyls have been reminding crowds that loud and sonic are welcome attributes.
After a busy winter and spring of tracking at Black Lodge Studios, The Dactyls have accumulated an arsenal of material. Local label Blanket Records released their debut 7” single, “A Widow Knows” b/w “Space From Earth”, in May 2008. In July, the band released the single "Island Shopping" as a split 7" with friends Bandit Teeth, and embarked on a brief mid-western tour promoting both 7" releases. This fall/winter will bring a self-released EP, as well as more local and regional shows.
