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.

Dynasty Electric’s EP, Burning, is undeniably an album that would draw wide audiences with its highly energetic pop sound that would get even
pop music haters dancing. The album consists of seven electrifying pop tracks with quite a distinctive flare in their use of experimental
futuristic sounds. Dynasty Electric is a group that really can't be compared to any other. Their psychedelic pop/rock sound stands out
from most bands with their futuristic beats and seductive vocals. If ’60s era psychedelic rock merged with futuristic experimental pop this
is exactly how it would sound.

Fans of electronica-styled pop/rock can have a blast with the new EP from New York's Dynasty Electric entitled Burning. The songs are
short, energetic rushes of bubbling synths, crunchy guitars, pounding drums and even the occasional theremin! Dynasty Electric are essentially a duo of vocalist/ keyboardist Jennifer DeVeau and guitar/sax/keys man Seth Misterka. The material has a great 80s meets '00s vibe as one can hear influences ranging from vets like Blondie, Missing Persons and Romeo Void to more modern day acts such as Yeah
Yeah Yeahs, Goldfrapp, The Rapture and Peaches.

Inspired by the duo’s (Jennifer DeVeau and Seth Misterka) experience at the last Burning Man festival, the band’s second release contains
six bass-heavy, beat-catchy tracks that will quickly slip their way into your head, the college radio scene, the hands of DJs and probably
a movie soundtrack or two before the summer is over. Burning starts out strong with one of the stand-out tracks, “Closer to Contact”, with
a groovy ’70s guitar, backed by the beat-heavy bass and drums (thinkMeg White). This track is undeniably one of the catchier,
sure-to-be-everywhere-soon tracks... DE's Burning is a great EP that has a retro vibe with a modern twist. For anyone that's a fan of
Garbage, Blondie, Goldfrapp or The Sounds, Dynasty Electric's Burning is absolutely something to check out.

I saw Dynasty Electric at Crash Mansion on the Lower East Side last night, and singer Jenn DeVeau had more to offer than her seriously
sick dance moves and Blondie-like voice, this girl has style. She’s a true rocker, and her clothes seem out of this world (literally). Last
night she wore this sequined getup with fairy dust covered leggings, complete with glow in the dark rings on each hand. Although
guitarist/saxophonist Seth Misterka remained in the background for the most part, he’s got an interesting look about himself too (I mean,
check out that jacket in the photo above). I highly recommend checking these guys out soon, for good music and killer fashion.

Splendid by Philip Stone

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 boy-girl 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. Between her Chrissie Hynde hairdo and her dissonant sass, which is reminiscent of Pretty Girls Make Graves' Andrea Zollo, DeVeau appears destined to become a pin-up girl for a new generation of indie hipsters. If their debut single proves to be a
mere warm up for these kids, now is a good time to hop on the Dynasty Electric bandwagon. Just remember, you heard about them here first.

New York Press by Chris Glazier

Dynasty Electric is an exercise in mastery of pop music. It should come as no surprise that members Jennifer DeVeau and Seth Misterka
come with impressively diverse credentials: DeVeau was already touring with an all-girl Beatles cover band by the time she was a teenager,
and Misterka has been a fixture of the avant-garde jazz scene for years. Dynasty’s brand of electro-rock should be a walk in the park
for these stalwarts. Not that the music itself is any slouch. Tight and spare, the tunes unwind and contract around DeVeau’s sinewy
vocals, or Misterka’s sax. For a band that relies on preprogrammed drums, the music never feels canned. Misterka’s Newsonic Studios
houses the band, where they avail themselves of its 24/7 recording studio to hone their sonic experiments. "We’ve been doing some new
material that’s a little slower with more complex arrangements" says Misterka, "but we still do a lot of high-energy material too." For the
latter, check out their driving, gritty "Hypnotized," available on 7" vinyl. It’s to their credit that they can make such mesmerizing music
without resorting to the smoke and mirrors that plague most synth-driven bands. In "Game of Jewels" the minimal melody bursts into
a disarming guitar and bass break that not only takes the song musically skyward, but lets us know they’ve got many more cards up
their sleeves.

Time Out New York by Mike Wolf

The duo Dynasty is another of polymorph experimentalist Seth Misterka's many projects, but this group puts difficult sounds through
the wringer and comes out with something quite palatable, if mysterious and hypnotic.

Creative Loafing by John Schacht

Harnessing the same erotic energy as another duo, The Kills, New York's Dynasty get there via a much more intricate sonic approach,
creating an elabrate tapestry of synthetic textures and beats, then weaving in melodies with a dark, Eastern feel and the occasional blast
of lo-rock sax to seduce. Their debut, Black Box, has earned them the dreaded 'critical buzz', but judging by this record, it's largely
warranted.

Impact Press

Black Box is the debut album for this Brooklyn duo. Their music features gritty and dirty sounds of underground guitarist Seth
Misterka along side drum machine beats and keyboards. Jennifer DeVeau's powerful vocal performance is reminiscent of P.J. Harvey's,
with her combination of strength and sensuality. With this solid debut, Dynasty establishes themselves as fine purveyors of arty indie
rock.

Village Voice

"[Dynasty’s] demo is its own kind of fun— bits of it suggest what might have happened if Suicide had tried to go pop, and if somebody
passed off the one-note-plus-sax-solo "Glass" as a pre–Human League demo, the electroclashoisie would be creaming for it.

Independent Weekly, Chapel Hill

NYC jazz/rock scene-swinging collaborator Seth Misterka scored the spazz pop perfection of Dynasty when he scored the phone number of
then bartender Jennifer DeVeau while waiting for a date in the East Village. Serendipity aside, this shaken, stirring
Peaches/Suicide/Rapture is a cocktail of punk sneer, electronic precision and avant tumult backing her distinctly anthemic '70s fem
rock attitude

Crashinin.com
"Black Box" is Dynasty's debut album that brings together a sense of experimental jazz, electronic, punk beats, and great pop vocals.
DeVeau is a pop jem in the waiting. Her sexy swagger and sassy good looks are enough to get your attention. When she sings she instantly
reminds me of a younger, sexier version of Christie Hynde. This is a band that needs to be seen live. Great tunes for fans of The Kills,
Joan Jett, and Mommy and Daddy.
