Dom is a five-piece band hailing from Worcester, Massachusetts. With fuzzy low-fi distortion and broken Casio keyboard lines, Dom filters a DIY aesthetic through the upbeat, sunny rhythms of pop music. Originally intended to be an 'electronic sci-trance' project, the band was formed in January 2010 by Dom and drummer Bobby after writing the song, 'Jesus'.
Dom, re-released their Sun Bronzed Greek Gods EP on Astralwerks/Burning Mill on February 15, 2011. The EP was previously only available in limited physical quantities and will now be available widely in all formats (LP, CD and digital). The new remixed and remastered EP keeps the exact same analog spirit of the original intact, so fans need not worry about alterations affecting the sound. Things sound better, as they were likely intended to be heard in the first place.
While many bands suffer with identity crises Dom has their priorities straight. "We want to be the Madonna of garage rock," proclaims Dominic, the 23-year-old mastermind behind the buzzed-about twisted-pop rockers, who slammed into music world consciousness like a tidal wave.
If it seems like Dom just came out of nowhere, that is because they did. In December 2009, Dominic (who goes by Dom, and will not reveal his last name, due to "owing people lots of money") met drummer Bobby in a Massachusetts boarding house. The two sought out to make Dom an "electronic sci-trance project" but after writing the song "Jesus," the band took a more surfy-psych, fuzz-pop sound. Later, they connected with bassist / guitarist Erik and shred head Cosmo, and the finished project sounded more like a jangle pop mixtape left on your dashboard on hot summer day.
With warped vocals, fuzzy low-fi distortion, and broken Casio keyboard lines, Dom filters a DIY aesthetic through the upbeat, sunny rhythms of pop music. There's a MacGyverized style to Dom's buzzed-about debut EP Sun Bronzed Greek Gods, the seven songs feel like they're held together by sonic duct tape. At any minute they could break apart. But they don't. These tracks recorded in Erik's bedroom-on a pink paisley guitar, a Casio and Fruity Loops-are solid, edgy and irresistibly fun. "We like to get gnarly, but that doesn't mean we're a joke," Dom says.
By March they were playing frenzied basement shows on the East Coast, and by April Dom was featured as a rising band on tastemaking music site, Pitchfork. Then the buzzing began.
A recent stint at the CMJ convention in New York City saw the band play multitudes of amazing shows and radio sessions, including for KEXP, Sirus XMU and the Insound sessions (the latter of which can be heard here http://www.insound.com/promos/red-wax-sessions). Dom also rocked the crowd at the Pitchfork event "Offline" as well as (Stereogum and Brooklyn Vegan CMJ parties). The band also spent most of September on a full U.S.-tour with Ratatat playing venues in the U.S. and Canada.
They added bassist Erik, and recorded their first 7 song EP, Sun Bronzed Greek Gods by March 2010 in Erik’s bedroom using a pink paisley guitar, a Casio keyboard and Fruity Loops. The EP was later picked up by EMI/Astralwerks, Parlophone and Modular People and rereleased in February 2011. The group released another 5 song EP, Family Of Love August 9th 2011.
