In the tradition of bands like THE VELVET UNDERGROUND, JESUS AND MARY CHAIN and MY BLOODY VALENTINE, CHAINSAW RAINBOW continues that creative path where noise and pop song structures intersect. CHAINSAW RAINBOW is the brainchild of L.A.-based singer-songwriter/guitarist/producer/auteur DOMINIC MASSARO. His minimal, raw and primitive solo project combines warped drones, pulsing noisy distorted guitars and colorful lyrics. CHAINSAW RAINBOW has released several albums in recent years, including “Fashion Show,” which, in 2018, was named one of the Top 10 California shoegaze albums of the year by “Shoegazer Alive Blog.” 

                DOMINIC MASSARO was born in New York. As a young child he enjoyed playing records and experimenting with turntables --spinning them backwards, slowing them down and speeding them up. He always thought they sounded better that way. And to this day MASSARO incorporates some of those elements in his music. 

                After his family moved to Florida he left home at 15 and played with numerous bands throughout the sunshine state. After moving to Los Angeles he formed the ambient project GRAFFITI 61. Under that moniker he released six albums which garnered several placements on TV. The music has been featured in such diverse TV and media outlets as “MTV CRIBS,” “THE MENTALIST” and NASA. 

                In 2012 MASSARO assembled the stoner rock band MOTORDRONE and released a critically acclaimed self-titled album on Do-it Records. It was a short-lived partnership. In 2014 the resilient MASSARO followed his creative heart and started CHAINSAW RAINBOW, combining the psychedelia of GRAFFITI 61, with the overdriven guitar crunch of MOTORDRONE. 

                Among many career highlights, CHAINSAW RAINBOW has been featured several times in MUSIC CONNECTION MAGAZINE and has licensed songs through RED QUEEN MUSIC. 

CHAINSAW RAINBOW has toured the U.S. and Europe opening for BARBWIRE DOLLS, EFG, HOTT MT, WET & RECKLESS, TASHAKI MIYAKI, DERADOORIAN and more. 

                CHAINSAW RAINBOW’S sensory scintillating music has been described as: “A thick pink cloud of ecstasy, perfume and candy. It’s fashion show music on acid.” 

                In addition to his many talents on the audio landscape, MASSARO is an accomplished visual artist. Much of his work bears the organic influence of contemporary icons JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT and KEITH HARING.
