Monday is RADIO DAY

Well, not officially as in recoginized by the mayor's office or anything like that, but certainly around these parts. And for today's celebration of Monday is (our) Radio Day we have one of our recent fav, Dinowalrus.

Dinowalrus join us on our East Village Radio show Monday, June 6th for interview and live in-studio performance.

"Dinowalrus is psychedelic synth-punk band from Brooklyn, NY comprised of former Titus Andronicus guitarist Pete Feigenbaum, synth and bass wizard Liam Andrew, and veteran drummer Max Tucker. They put out their shape shifting, eclectic and erudite debut, %, on Kanine Records (Surfer Blood, Chairlift, Grizzly Bear). The album was a unique, structurally unorthodox, unpredictable mélange of krautrock, synthpop, shoegaze, acid-rock, noise, and thrash-punk that was well received in underground circles. Later on Pete revamped the lineup and songwriting approach, and began working with Liam Andrew (synthesizers, bass). With drummer Anton Hochheim from their Kanine shoegazer label-mates the Depreciation Guild onboard for recording and a run of shows, Dinowalrus reinvented themselves with a more pop-oriented songwriting approach that drew heavily on the 1980s beats of Madchester plus other groovin’ minimal synth, new wave, dark wave, and post punk angles, while retaining their psychedelic and krautock backbone. When recording wrapped up, they started working fulltime with drummer Max Tucker, formerly of Patrick Cleandenim and Francis and the Lights to take their live show to the next level."
