ABOUT)))))))

Dinowalrus is a three-person drum n' drone band out of Brooklyn, NY. Its current live incarnation began 2006, when Pete and Kyle met while simultaneously attempting to stalk Andrew WK at a To Live and Shave in LA show. As an experimental noise/glam recording project, it goes back to 2003.

In an attempt to capture some of the spontaneity of their improvisational instincts, retain the complex spatiality of their recorded experiments, and transcend the limited sonic palette that plagues most three-piece bands, Dinowalrus re-invents their instrumentation with every song. Some tunes feature dueling Lee n’ Thurston guitar interplay between Pete and Kyle, some feature Kyle nimbly playing the bass, sampler and synthesizer simultaneously, and others revolve around Josh drumming toe-to-toe with a booty-licious electronic beat. The band relies heavily on the use of self-sustaining electronic devices to push its sound into cosmic brain-melting freakouts, lush atmospheric haze, and/or juvenile twee-skronk. These devices include an optical theremin, a sampler, and a 1983 Roland analogue synth named Marc Bolan.

Their recordings are didactic experiments in infinite reverb, uber- and anti- "dance-ability", delay-treated xylophones, dime-store voice changers, deep-fried drum machines, pop-neo-orientalism, layered fuzz, and layered haircuts.

PRESS)))))))))))

"Dinowalrus is also the name of the worst Pixar movie ever."

-Christopher Weingarten, Paperthinwalls, 2008

"It's the way I like my noise rock; fast paced, percussive, and maintaining just enough structure to pass for actual songs."

-Pat Duffy, Poptartssucktoasted, January 2008

"Dinowalrus definitely psychs you out, and occasionally bursts into face-peeling shred, but what it really comes off as is a pre-Perestroika Krautrock broadcast picking up pirate AOR-and-disco playlists from some buried offshore wire, and then rocking that shit backwards in really tight pants. It’s pretty great.

The trio switches instruments like mid-life crises in a Guitar Center, whipping out guitars, keyboards, extra toms, some flashlight/loop-trigger, more guitars. Axeman/jump-around man Pete Feigenbaum mentioned to me that he’s working on building up big walls of sound with all this stuff, but the effect, like this guy’s wild-man-in-the-burbs stage dives, is surprisingly nimble. No matter the tech-buildup going on under the lights, it’s really all about watching dudes straddle, in descending order of complexity, instruments, tables and confused waitstaff. De-evolution, it turns out, is slightly more fun to watch than the slog out of the Cambrian stew after all."

-Ben Lasman, NY Press, June 2008

"We just saw Dinowalrus play in Brooklyn and it totally felt like we were transported back in time to the Mudd Club circa 1981. With all the crazy horns and noise and things, Jean-Michel just totally should have been there rocking out too. Sigh.

Brooklyn's Dinowalrus is a noisy electrically experimental trio that throws a whole lot of percussion, distortion, knob-twiddles, keys, distortion, guitars, vocal yelps, and even some crazy clarinet solos at you. Pop it's not. It sounds like these three guys have been dedicated students of The Game (because isn't rock 'n roll just a game, after all?) and listened to a lot of old Rhys Chatman and Glen Branca records for clamorous improvisational inspiration (or, maybe they are slightly more modern men and just sought out Sonic Youth at their loudest and strangest)."

-Ohmyrockness.com, June 2009

"While their name might suggest a pink-scored jump suit and a heavy reserve of bleeps, Dinowalrus actually makes sleek music from the future that simultaneously shares a lot of roots with early New Order, Brooklyn spazz-prog 2008, psychedelics abusers, and the dreams I had last night about manatees. It’s all adhered together with Spaceman 3 era reverb."

-Impose Magazine, July 2008



CREATIVE WRITING)))))))))))

"Redoubtably, Dinowalrus is the true coming of the post-post-structuralist paradigm”

-Jean Nouvel, Weimar Architectural Journal, 2006

"In the age of YouTube, would Matthew Barney even exist as a singular entity? In contrast, Dinowalrus continues to prove that superior concept can transcend the banalities that have inevitably followed the recent proliferation of consumer technologies and web-media outlets”

-Umberto Eco, artFORM, 2005

"Then there's the mysterious Dinowalrus, who revels both in the aqua-net bombast of Jake E. Lee, and the aerosol scuzz-tone of Steve Albini. Needless to say, both Lee and Albini concur in their HATE for that shape-shifting poseur."

-Chuck Klosterman, dubiously obtained email, 2007

"All drugs of any interest to any moderately intelligent person in America
are now illegal."


Thomas Szasz

the argument goes something like this...


"I refuse to prove that I exist," says God,

"for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."


"But," says man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it?

It could not have evolved by chance. It proves that you exist, and so therefore,

by your own arguments, you don't. Q.E.D."


"Oh dear," says God,

I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes

in a puff of logic.


well, I guess that about wraps it up for God...
