"There's this band that I love from East St. Louis, Illinois called So Many Dynamos, and they're this heavy, fantastic, prog rock dance band. They've got their heads as much in the The Mahavishnu Orchestra as they do the Talking Heads. They're really doing that bizarre fall on the floor dance band fusion thing, but hitting really hard. They're fucking awesome!" - Chris Walla, Death Cab For Cutie

So Many Dynamos formed in 2002, has released 2 albums (2006's "Flashlights" and 2004's "When I Explode") an EP (2003's "Are We Not Drawn Onward To New Era") and a seven inch (2005's split w/ Houston's Bring Back the Guns), and has played over 450 shows. They enjoy playing catch, eating at Cracker Barrel, and taking pictures of cats.
