The Dualistics

The Dualistics

There is a small but comfy couch at the back of Denver’s Hi Dive Lounge, its the place to sit, especially during a rowdy Nirvana Tribute show. The Dualistics are a Denver based band that headlined the show and played Nirvana’s In Utero album in its entirety to an exuberant and appreciative crowd, there was even the quintessential mosh pit at the front of the floor where adolescent males were driven into a frenzied state by the Dualistic’s excellent and passionate cover of Nirvana’s classic album.  

The Dualistsics are;

Jimmy Stofer – Bass / Vox

Scott Russell – Drums

Charley Hine – Guitar / Vox

Tyler Despres – Guitar / VoxHere

Here is what Billy Thieme has to say about this talented young band;With all the vibrant styles, abundant venues and the phenomenal number of bands playing live on any given night, Denver’s local scene is one to be reckoned with. It often feels too big to absorb, and those bands that reach the level of popularity to make a national splash often favor the alt-country/gothic “Denver Sound” (not that there’s anything at all wrong with that), or alternately fit into a generic, TV-series theme song sort of

In that way, it’s great to hear a band like Dualistics starting to gain some momentum, since sonically they fall into neither camp — at least not comfortably. Last Saturday night at the Larimer Lounge, the band had no trouble attracting an impressive crowd to their CD release party, where everyone present seemed to share in the band’s natural, infectious enthusiasm.
