Night and day, right? That's the difference between Pete Feigenbaum's solo project Blizzardo and some of his other gigs, including Dinowalrus. Blizzardo is straight synthesized sugar cereal. Music for late late late night parties at the houses of people you don't know, in towns you've never been to. Kinda want to do some E and just blizz out. It's a far cry from the prog, experimental, kraut-psych adrenaline that we heard on Dinowalrus' superlative % although you can definitely hear [...]
Though we usually have nothing but praise for Dinowalrus , their new video for "Phone Home from the Edge" has one big red mark on it--the appearance of Troma head honcho Llyod Kaufman. Despite this one small annoyance, we're still excited for Best Behavior , the new album from the band that comes out on March 6.
Way back in 2010, we posted " Phone Home From The Edge ," a hazy track from the Brooklyn trio Dinowalrus. The band is finally getting ready to release the new album Best Behavior , and now there's a video for the song. In the clip, Dinowalrus frontman Peter Feigenbaum goes to sleep and wakes up as an old man, played by Lloyd Kaufmann, president and co-founder of the Z-grade exploitation movie studio Troma. He then finds his younger self singing to him, and he generally freaks out. Interpretive dancing is involved. Charlotte Kaufmann directs. Below, watch the video [...]

Let me save you some trouble by telling you I already tried google image seaching Dinowalrus and all I got were pictures of the band. No dinosaurs with walrus tusks and mustaches... or a walrus with the tail of a dinosaur, and those little t-rex arms. Now admitted, the pictures of the band were pretty cool, but they were no real life dinowalrus. Right! Well, with such an epic name you'd expect Dinowalrus to have the chops to back it up and they don't disappoint. With former Titus Andronicus guitarist Pete Feigenbaum leading [...]
As we slowly move into 2012, there's a lot of interesting music beginning to trickle out our way. One of the first acts to catch my attention is Dinowalrus , a band with some ties to Titus Andronicus - just don't expect to hear the same post-rock storytelling. This track begins with a bit of a dreamy state, and while the vocals maintain that effect, you'll get a bit more of a trance-induced swing pushed on by cascading guitar lines. If, like me, you're digging what you hear, you can [...]
Earlier this week, Dinowalrus dropped a track from their upcoming LP, Best Behavior , which is set to be released on March 6th, 2012 via Old Flame Records . Best Behavior was recorded over the past two years with Nadim Issa and Matt Walsh (of The Forms ), and features drumming from The Depreciation Guild 's Anton Hochheim. On this, their second LP, band has narrowed their focus in order to create synthy jangle rock in the vein of the Madchester sound. This track has a brief cameo [...]
Dinowalrus - a Brooklyn band with a great name indeed - just announced the release of their sophomore release, scheduled for March 2003 on Kanine, and shared with the public a preview track ("What Now", streaming below) which discloses more fluid sonics and an increased focus on songwriting. The band's new sound seems to leave behind the harsh and sometimes quirky psychedelic experimentation of their beginnings and find inspiration instead in the British psych-pop wave of the late 80s.

Best Behavior will see daylight on 3/6 via Old Flame Records. DINOWALRUS recently shared a Heart Playlist. Purchase DINOWALRUS items via Insound. MP3: DINOWALRUS - What Now

Download great new covers of Sonic Youth, The Shangri-Las, Psychic TV, David Bowie, and Katy Perry!
Here's a slightly more delicate take on the Psychic TV classic "Godstar" by Dinowalrus, in which the Brooklyn band soften up all their scuzzy edges and float gently up into the most-mellow heights of space pop. You can catch Pete Feigenbaum and his bros playing at Christopher Weingarten's book release for Hipster Puppies along with Zs and Burning Star Core, tomorow at Public Assembly. In Feigenbaum's words, "not sure what Psychic TV has to do with hipster puppies, but ...
