Dysaynia

Formed in Victoria BC in 2023, Dysaynia came into existence via a chance meeting between founding members Steven Reid, Jack Satchwell and Ben Marshman. They had all grown up living parallel lives on different continents, fine-tuning their songwriting from a young age and finding an immediate connection when they happened to be in the same place at the same time. Both Ben and Jack had self-taught themselves guitar, bass, and drums from a young age, taking a one-man-band approach to their songwriting since they were never quite able to find others who shared the same level of passion for 90’s inspired modern rock. Dysaynia changed everything for them. Drummer Isaiah Sanchez joined the band after seeing Dysaynia perform at their first ever show making him want to get back into drumming.

Dockside
