With their jangling guitar riffs, driving basslines and introspective lyrics, their music embodies the raw and emotional essence of 80s alternative rockFrom slow grooves to vibrant and uplifting rocker numbers, Dystropolis have been likened to a science fiction novel, even a fantasy show. But, they’re an exciting band, with the look of science fiction culture, living out a fantasy by hitting the stages, gigging and bringing lots of fun to the mosh. DEEP MAJESTIC THUNDERFrom the thunderous realm of noise, spirit, and malodorous wind-breaking emerges Deep Majestic Thunder, a genre-defying musical beast combining psychedelic funk, metal, mystical groove, and enough primal rhythm to satiate the Naarm booty population. At the helm stands Shaman Vine whose voice is a splendidly unhinged cocktail of wild rock-star swagger and pseudo-sinister theatricality. On guitar, Diamond Dave Shaw forges great slabs of sonic steel with the precision of a Swiss watchmaker who has been assailed by the heaviest Metallica, Tool, and Slayer riffs.  Down in the basement of existence sits Funky Christos, the low-end oracle, laying down basslines so deep and syncopated that the Earth itself occasionally checks whether it has left the stove on. Behind this magnificent disturbance lurks Dr Andy Thunder, the rhythmic philosopher who solves existential crises with his metronomic beat and brutal Stanier-like power.FAME STREETJake Dalby takes his atmospheric cowboy grunge anthems to a new level with the help of the Fame Street crew - get ready for some wistful but melodic tearjerkers that you can jam to in the cosy Mamma Chen inner sanctum. Drawing inspiration from 90s Grunge acts such as Alice In Chains and Nirvana , a broad category of Blues/Country music like Stevie Ray Vaughan , Johnny Cash and Zach Bryan and also embracing the softness and sultry darkness of female acts such as Lana Del Rey and Fiona Apple, Jake draws all of his inspirations together to create a Bluesy, Sludgy and Dreamy sound with little sparkles of beauty throughout.Jake started off his career busking on the streets of Byron Bay and slowly built up his songwriting and overall musicianship before returning back to Melbourne, with the Fame Street band now expanding his sonic potential and live energy.
