EXPLOSIVE BY NAME; EXPLOSIVE BY NATURE. My Dynamite is:
Pat
Carmody (vocals, harp), Jorge Balas (guitar), Benny Wolf (guitar),
Travis Fraser (bass), Simon Aarons (drums) bring a range of influences
including blues, Soul and Classic 100% Rock n' Roll to the band, making
for a unique and potent brew that is all their own. "We've
all grown up listening to various forms of music and what we are doing
complements our interests and styles," says singer Carmody. "We're all
really into what we are doing at the moment."
SOUTHERN COMFORT
Taking cues from the sounds of the Humble Pie, The Faces, Black Crowes,
with a healthy dose of Led Zepplin-esque rock riffs and Stones attitude
thrown in for good measure, My Dynamite draws a healthy respect for the
greats and turns it into a contemporary and irresistible sound with a
firm focus on getting the party started. Be assured, My Dynamite is more
rock stomp that boot scoot, having already built a solid following by
conquering some of Australia's toughest and most loved local venues
including the Espy, and one of the busiest nights the Tote has had all
year.
LOCAL HEROES
The lads packed out the front bar of the legendary St Kilda venue The
Esplanade Hotel to launch their EP recently, thrilling the walk-in crowd
who had never seen them before as much as their ever-growing legion of
devoted fans. Also selling out the Tote a few weeks later."The songs
that we play are just fun," says Carmody. "Anyone who likes that
'feel-good rock n' roll' should get right into what our music is about".
From the high-energy strut of "If We're Livin'," to the party anthem
"Raise Your Glasses" - both of which are on the debut album release My
Dynamite clearly knows how to have a good time. But while the band has
been noted as a killer live act with a swagger and mystique that you
just can't buy, there is plentiful heart and soul at the core of their music.
HEART AND SOUL
"The last couple of songs we have written have had a whole lot more
heart and soul going into them," Carmody admits. "You can't have a
45-minute set that says 'let's get drunk and act like animals' from
start to finish'. People will get over it by about half-way through the
show. Or pass out. Or we will!" "Lyrically and musically, songs we have
written express what is going on in our personal lives directly, and the
whole situation around us, the need for more positive vibrations and to
keep it real takes first place around our music. We are spreading our
wings musically and definitely won't be pigeonholing ourselves anytime
soon." And the album is a clear indicator of that.
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
The My Dynamite story started when Carmody joined a rock band that Fraser and Aarons were already in. A friend introduced them to Balas, and he returned the favor by steering his new band mates to a direction which has now become the band's staple sound. Recent addition Wolf took over Carmody's guitar duties, allowing the front man to devote all of his attention to giving the audience an electrifying show. While recently playing alongside Australian rock royalty The Screaming Jets and Rose Tattoo, My Dynamite is ready to carve their own chapter in this country's rich music history. Just light the fuse.
