Dionysia was formed in
2000 when five guys from Fenton, MO came together in a basement
to have a jam session. Their musical influences range form
Rock, Latin, Funk, to Improvisation. Due to their aggressive
and unique style Dionysia has an incredible loyal fan base
that is reaching out from St Louis to Kansas city to Springfield
and to the many great venues in between. Dionysia has played
with repeat performances the main venues in St Louis (Mississippi
Nights, Pop's, The Galaxy, Cicero's, SallyT's and Off Broadway
to name a few) with the crowds growing at each performance.
Dionysia, by request of their fans, have released two live
CD's, "Live at Mississippi Nights" and "Live
at Miss Molly's" with a tremendous response. At Last
count 1,400 plus copies have been pressed with the CD's
selling out in just a few weeks. Dionysia's Live CDs are
being played on many local radio stations all across Missouri,
but the band can't wait until the release of their first
studio CD, which should be completed May or June of 2002.
As stated by the band....
"We are pouring our hearts and soul into this CD, and
so far we are proud of what we have completed. It has been
a lot of hard work but we are having a great time watching
it come together." Be sure to watch for Dionysia CD
release party sometime this summer.
