BIO

Dynasty Electric is a New York art rock band mining the area between experimental music, rock, and pop. The group was formed in 2002 by multi-instrumentalist Seth Misterka, (whose varied career has seen him working with everyone from experimentalists Anthony Braxton, William Parker, and Jonathan Zorn to indie rockers Hot Chip, Shy Child, Aarktica, and The Fever) and singer Jennifer DeVeau (who cut her teeth touring the UK as a teenager with her all-girl Beatle-cover band Girl). Misterka was on date when he met DeVeau at an East Village bar – his date was late, so he struck up a conversation with DeVeau who was tending the bar. They had an instant repoire, and Misterka asked DeVeau to join his new band Dynasty.

Working in various incarnations over the years the group has toured across America, Canada, and Japan, and Taiwan, appeared on MTV2, Much Music, Democracy Now! and New York television program New York Noise, been the focus of photo spreads in Zoo Magazine and Italian Vogue, released 7”s on DRR Records and Pop Hop, 2 EPs on Newsonic Records, and the critically acclaimed full-length album “Black Box” on Mysterious Media in 2004. In 2008 the group toured the US, culminating in a performance at the Burning Man Festival.

In 2009, Dynasty Electric released a new EP "Burning", along with a new video "Closer to Contact" produced by award winning production company Superfad. The group played the South by Southwest Festival in Austin, TX, and is performing regularly in New York.

Incorporating a wide palette of instruments from theremin, synthesizer, and samplers, to saxophone, electric guitar, and electronics the group’s sound is edgy, yet accessible, danceable, but experimental, evoking the spirit of great New York art-pop bands like Blondie, The Talking Heads, Suicide, and The Velvet Underground. Indeed, this great underground New York act is a band whose time has come. With their accessible sound, and their electrifying live show Dynasty Electric are poised for major crossover success.
