about
The Duskwhales began in January 2010, comprised of school friends Seth Flynn, Chris Baker, Brian Majewksi, and Austin Mee. The band, hailing from Northern Virginia, started out playing cover songs mostly from groups like The Cure, The Pixies, Nirvana, and The Strokes. After about a year of refining our sound and getting some really solid original material together, we started breaking into the local music scene, playing at cafes, clubs, and band battles. As word spread, more and more people started coming to our shows and by default we got a lot better at performing in front of an audience and playing together as a band. In summer of 2012, we finally had the chance to head up to Blue Sofa Studios in Greensburg, Pennsylvania to record our debut album Cutpurse with RJ Dietrich. The 10-track album was recorded in 5 days and released in August 2012. The Duskwhales have plans to tour the East Coast and record their second album in summer of 2013. Our influences are quite diverse, as we each come from a unique musical background. Some of our most influential groups, ranging from oldies to grunge to jazz, include The Beatles, The Who, The Velvet Underground, The Strokes, Radiohead, St. Vincent, Nirvana, The Pixies, Charles Mingus, and Dave Brubeck. Our album Cutpurse is dedicated to the memory of Brendan Majewski, who passed away in January of 2011. Brendan, older brother of Duskwhale Brian, he was a member of the bands Quix*o*tic and Orphan.
