Bullheaded Bands: So Many DynamosBullheaded Bands: So Many Dynamos

August 11, 2009

This week, The Skinny picked the brains of Illinois based indie band, So Many Dynamos. We caught them on tour at their Los Angeles stop, and we caught them with their pants down. . . literally. Like – they changed in the parking lot into some fabulous Bullhead Jeans and I saw their knickers. It was a blast.

Griffin Kay ‐ Guitar/Vocals
Clayton Kunstel ‐ Drums/Percussion
Aaron Stovall ‐ Vocals/Keyboards/Percussion
Ryan Wasoba ‐ Guitar/Keyboard/Vocals

PS: From left to right. Your name, age, where you’re from and favorite anything? Also, two words to describe the person on your left.

CK: Clayton, 24. My favorite Harry Potter is the 5th one. I’m gonna go official with that information exclusively for PacSun. Two words for Aaron, non‐smoker.

AS: That’s hyphenated, so that’s technically just one word.

CK: K then, ‘pet’ ‘enthusiast’.

AS: I’m Aaron, 25. I’m from St. Louis [while trying to figure out what his favorite anything is, debate ensues amongst band members over Showtime vs. HBO shows.] Two words to describe Griffen. Uh. Loud. He does everything loud. Snores, talks on the phone. And meat enthusiast? I think that’s three words. Whatever.

GK: I’m Griffen, 25. From St. Louis. Favorite TV show is Lost. Two words for Ryan: Married engineer.

RW: Hey I’m Ryan, also 25. St. Louis. Favorite lunch meat is roast beef.

PS: So what is So Many Dynamos?

RW: It’s a palindrome.

CK: It’s also a band.

PS: What’s a palderone?

RW: Spells the same way backwards.

PS: Wha? Ohhhhhhhh. Cool.

PS: What do you guys have in the tape deck in the van?

AS: One of those converter tapes. The thing that plugs up to the iPod.

GK: What have we been listening to?

RW: Japan Droids, The New Dirty Projectors.

AS: Not 303. Those guys are offensively bad.

PS: Hopes and dreams for the band?

GK: To never work a real job again.

AS: And you know. . . that’s it.

PS: Any last words?

GK: Thanks for the pants.

RW: Yeah, Griffen has been asking for free pants the whole tour.
