The independent pop/rock 80s inspired electro band, 10Zero, took the Sullivan Room stage on Friday, March 26 around 10pm. The duo which formed about 2 years ago in Los Angeles, CA was set to expand into the New York scene. The March 26th show was the second of New York City shows.
Attendees gathered near the stage in the form of a circle providing enough room for what was to come. Luis (Luie) Dalmasy, Jr., the duo’s vocalist is a native New Yorker from Washington Heights and professional break dancer and brings new meaning to the word performing, he’d often leap off the stage and bust a couple of moves before striking a pose and heading back onto the stage and finishing up the tune, meanwhile, Kamyar Livari seemly un-phased plucked away on his guitar.
10Zero recently completed their 12 track debut album “Love Like Stars,” available on iTunes Now, and when we caught up with the duo they gave us the lowdown on how the pair got its start and hopes for the future.
Sinister Girlz: How did 10Zero get its start?
Kamyar: After the end of my previous band, Avenue in Oceania, Andy (our keyboard player and co-writer at the time) and I decided it was time to look for another singer. I had found Luie quite by chance online and 2 years later, here we are.
Sinister Girlz: How would you describe your music for those who haven’t discovered you yet?
Kamyar: I would describe our music as Electronic Rock. To me, it’s more of a mix of Dance, Electronica and Rock.
Sinister Girlz: At Friday’s show there was a lot of break dancing going on the dance floor, in the band’s initial conception was incorporating break dancing a part of the original vision?

Luie: Yes, breaking is something that I have been doing for a little over ten years now and I feel it fits very well with 10zero’s performance. When someone comes to see our show we want them to walk away amazed and surprised so we do the most we can. There is already so much energy in the music how could anyone just stand still and not dance.
Sinister Girlz: Who are some of your musical influences?
Kamyar: This is always a difficult question for me to answer. I have a varied pallet, Rock, Electronic, Dance, Rap, Classical, New Wave, Industrial, etc.
Sinister Girlz: Where do you see 10Zero 5 years from now?
Kamyar: I really would like to take 10Zero to explore wider musical areas. I would love to give listeners music that embraces them. I would like to see us on our 3rd album by then.
