BIO

DYSPHASIC describes their sound as Straight-ahead Mid-West Rock'n'Roll, but just like the Midwest, their sound is a mixture of influences from across the country... maybe even a little bit of country (but not too much).

DYSPHASIC has been rocking the St. Louis area since early 2003, but the current lineup was completed around October 2003 when they replaced their original guitar player with Jose "El Puma" Diaz.

DYSPHASIC's sound is hard to categorize because the songs range from acoustic ballads to full-on hard rock assaults with some songs having more of a blues or country feel. But the defining characteristic of any DYSPHASIC song is POWER. The distinctive vocals of Keith Brake, the virtuoso lead guitar of Jose Diaz and the rock-solid rhythm put down by bassist Brian Schifferdecker and drummer Tony Mueller all come together as one powerful force, ready to blow out your speakers... so crank it up!

In addition to their original music, DYSPHASIC plays cover gigs showcasing some of the best music from the 60's to the present from bands like ZZ Top, Black Sabbath, Stone Temple Pilots, Joe Satriani, Chevelle & Nickelback. Download some samples from the links below.

DYSPHASIC has been featured twice on the local television show "The Best of the STL" seen on City TV 10 in St. Louis, once playing original music and a second time promoting their new project, a Joe Satriani Tribute band. The tribute band project is set to start playing sometime in the Summer of 2007. Download video samples from the links below. There are even more choices on the MUSIC page.
