Smartass powerpopsters, basically, that's who we are. We've been together longer than we want to admit, but for the last few years or so, the band is made up of SETH GORDON on guitar and vocals, TONY LEVENTHAL on bass and vocals, ROBBIE RIST (who you may remember because he played COUSIN OLIVER on THE BRADY BUNCH) on lead guitar and vocals and NELSON BRAGG (who is also the newest member of BEACH BOY BRIAN WILSON'S band) on drums and vocals. Our last album was produced by MITCH EASTER, who has produced REM, PAVEMENT, MARSHALL CRENSHAW and a ton of others.
There are rumors we have a room reserved in Guantanamo after Bush and his cronies at the NSA saw the video for our last single THE EMPEROR STRIKES OUT. One reviewer described it as THE RAMONES directing FAHRENHEIT 9/11!
See it here before we're declared "enemy combatants!
Check out the video for our new single in Spain, MOLA, GUAY, OK (for you non-Spanish speakers, mola and guay basically mean "cool").
Oh, and we're "big" in Spain, hehehe...and speaking of Spain, here's the video we did for our cover of the Spanish classic, DEJAME, originally recorded by LOS SECRETOS. The song was the theme song in the Spanish hit film, LA FIESTA and some scenes from the movie are featured in the video.

Our favorite review is from the Phoenix New Times: "As thrilling as seeing Keith Moon kick over his kit or Ray Davies punch his brother Dave in the mouth. Yeah, it's that good."

The DomNicks combine the Perth Garage Rock/Power Pop legend Dom Mariani (The Stems, DM3, Someloves), with the British punk attack of Nick Shepherd (The Clash, The Cortinas).
Formed in 2007 the band was a meeting of musical minds for Dom and Nick who teamed up with Howard Shawcross vintage bass man (The Elks, The Jackals, Dave Warner) and Marz Frisina drummer around town (DM3, The Calhoons, New Egyptian Kings).
This hang loose combo plays a mix of Dom and Nick originals with a nice spread of 60's and 70's garage soul classics. One part Memphis stew, one part Stones and Faces inspired and one part Aussie garage guitar rock this band of seasoned players punches well above its collective musical weight.
Now in 2009 they are ready to release the EP Hey Rock ‘N’ Roller the band’s first assault on CD through Off The Hip Records. Consisting of 5 Nick and 2 Dom penned tracks Hey Rock ‘N Roller was recorded in three studios (Kingdom, Loop and Forrest) over the space of ten months and was mixed by the formidable duo of Rob “Radio Birdman” Younger and Wayne Connolly (producer of You Am I and The Vines).
There are rockers that swagger with a Stick Fingers atmosphere and there is a down home soul groove in “Hey Fellas” that channels Bobby Womack. The band’s lean and mean four piece sound is enhanced by brass and keyboards on some tracks to full effect.
Since 2007 The DomNicks have performed at Perth’s top venues including Mojos, Clancys, The Flying Scotsman, The Mustang Bar, Fremantle Arts Centre, Devilles Pad and regularly at Settler’s Tavern in Margaret River. The Domnicks launch Hey Rock ‘N’ Roller at Clancys Fremantle on Friday 20 November and at Devilles Pad on Saturday 21 November.
