Hey Rock 'n' Roller
The DomNicks combine the Perth Garage Rock/Power Pop legend Dom Mariani (The Stems, DM3, Someloves), with the British punk attack of Nick Shepherd (The Clash, The Cortinas). Formed in 2007 the band was a meeting of musical minds for Dom and Nick who teamed up with Howard Shawcross vintage bass man (The Elks, The Jackals, Dave Warner) and Marz Frisina drummer around town (DM3, The Calhoons, New Egyptian Kings). This hang loose combo plays a mix of Dom and Nick originals with a nice spread of 60's and 70's garage soul classics. One part Memphis stew, one part Stones and Faces inspired and one part Aussie garage guitar rock this band of seasoned players punches well above its collective musical weight. Now in 2009 they are ready to release the Mini album Hey Rock 'N' Roller the band's first assault on CD through Off The Hip Records. Consisting of 5 Nick and 2 Dom penned tracks Hey Rock 'N Roller was recorded in three studios (Kingdom, Loop and Forrest) over the space of ten months and was mixed by the formidable duo of Rob "Radio Birdman" Younger and Wayne Connolly (producer of You Am I and The Vines). There are rockers that swagger with a Stick Fingers atmosphere and there is a down home soul groove in "Hey Fellas" that channels Bobby Womack. The band's lean and mean four piece sound is enhanced by brass and keyboards on some tracks to full effect. Since 2007 The DomNicks have performed at Perth's top venues including Mojos, Clancys, The Flying Scotsman, The Mustang Bar, Fremantle Arts Centre, Devilles Pad and regularly at Settler's Tavern in Margaret River. Hop on board and enjoy the ride on the Domnicks groove train as the band launch Hey Rock 'N' Roller at Clancys Fremantle on Friday 20 November and at Devilles Pad on Saturday 21 November.
