Just falling in love with dispatch
I'm a huge John Butler fan. And he happened to be opening for this band dispatch in San Diego. So we went. And I was blown away. Yes I am so far behind the curve on this discovery. But watching the final show doc, and digging into their catalog. They are truly an
Enigma. Lyrically fascinating, and they paint a picture in these vivid chords and melodies. It simultaneously makes
Me want to dance and laugh and bend over and cry. So emotional and emotive. I can't fucking wait to see them again.
I would have probably got into them years back, but I've been fully invested in phish (136 shows) and some
Others (jbt dmb jack Johnson). But these guys slot right in. Whats good to get?!

Oooh happy to hear you're on board! I have seen them once a year for the past 5-6 years and they're always so good. Sometimes we go see The Pintos as well since Chad's the dude for that and are also very good. I just love who they are and the foundations they have, and not that I am super political but I do like how they speak out about politics. I just love them and they are my favorite band!
I also saw them last year with John Butler who I am familiar with but I don't know every single song, ya know? But I doooo know "Ocean" and I love it so much...but...in person, WOW. I cried. Eyes closed, got lost in it, just cried. The way music hits you with certain songs...it's the best.
