Red Dynasty were formed as Eastbound Train by Chong Feng (bass), Xiyao Chen (GuZheng, keyboards), Marx Zhou (guitar) and Tie Yu (drums). Chong Feng and Marx Zhou had previously played together in Pink Spiders. Tie Yu left the band (and Hamilton), returning to his native China, and the remaining three changed their name on the advice of an Auckland record company who believed Eastbound Train did not have enough impact. While Eastbound Train was primarily a covers band, Red Dynasty wrote originals, playing a mix of western pop/rock and traditional Chinese music. Justin Deng became drummer for the band in August 2006. In 2006 they performed at the Summer Festival at Hamilton Gardens, and in that year two articles appeared on them in the Waikato Times. The final article stated that they planned to record in China in December 2006. A number of recordings exist by the band on their website.
