The Worcester, Massachusettes quartet Dom signed to Astralwerks last fall. Since then they've released their debut EP "Sun Bronzed Greek Gods" and have been touring relentlessly. They dropped by for an in-studio while in town for a gig at The Entry.

They talked about their extensive tour schedule, the current EP, when to expect their next new EP and their telephone party line. They were also kind enough to play an excellent Prince cover for us.

If I told you that the most "metal" moment I've witnessed in our studio involved a near Axl Rose look-a-like you probably wouldn't be surprised. But when I tell you it took place during the taping of Dom's song "Living In America" you might think me crazy. That tune is a bouncy, fuzzed-out tune you might associate with beach music. But when Cosmo started wailing on the guitar solo, I couldn't help but wonder if they could hear him throughout the building! You be the judge. Give the session a listen!

Songs performed: "Bochicha," "Jesus," "Living In America" and "Little Red Corvette."
