Dynasty Electrik (aka Dynasty Electric) is an electronic rock duo from Brooklyn, New York, United States, consisting of vocalist Jenny Electrik and multi-instrumentalist Seth Misterka.
The band was formed in 2003 by Seth Misterka, a multi-instrumentalist, producer, and composer with a background in a spectrum of musical genres. Misterka has worked with artists such as jazz musicians Anthony Braxton and William Parker, and indie bands Hot Chip, Shy Child, and The Fever. He provides guitar, electronics and saxophone for Dynasty Electric. Misterka met lead singer Jenny Electrik at a New York city bar in a chance encounter and asked her to join his band as a bass player. Originally the band performed experimental, instrumental improvisations. Jenny Electrik eventually assumed the role of lead singer, in addition to playing bass, synthesizer, and theremin.
The duo wrote and released their first single "Hypnotized" followed by the full-length album Black Box in 2004. They spent the following years touring the world and appearing in festivals like Summerfest, SXSW, CMJ Music Marathon, BAM’s Sounds Like Brooklyn Festival, The Brooklyn Museum, Dewey Beach Music Festival, and the Burning Man Festival.
