    I really wanna see them in DC (a few weeks before my birthday, too!), but don't think I'm gonna bite. Spent way too much money on shows this summer already. Maybe closer to date of show I'll get a last minute ticket!

    Saw these guys at the DMB Caravan.

    Never knew much about them. I was stunned to see virtually the entire crowd singing out their songs and I have to be honest... the fact that I had only a vague notion of who they were- I felt like I had missed something, somewhere with these guys.

    Got caught up very quickly though.

    Awesome!! Yeah they were one of those bands that you had to learn about through a friend or something. I remember working with a guy - probably around 2001 or so - who gave me a copy of one of their live albums. Fell in love instantly but didn't get to finally see them until last summer in Chicago. Their fans are hardcore for sure!

    So I've had Circles Around the Sun jamming for a good week now...it honestly took me a little longer to get used to. Quite a few songs are very Pete Francis-inspired, you could tell, and while I love PF, some of them seem a little too mellow for Dispatch. Still think it's a great effort though...Not Messin' Around definitely my fave on the disc. Less than a month til the Chicago shows!

    I'm totally with you on this...taking some time to sink in. Not Messin, is definitely a stand-out. And even though it's one of the most non-sounding Dispatch songs on the album, I find myself going back to "Come to Me"...such a trippy song.

    Glad to hear I'm not alone in this! Totally agree about Come to Me, it's probably my 3rd fave on the album right now. I'm gonna give it more time but I really hope the sets aren't too heavy on the new album. Are you hitting up any shows?

    My friend is a huge Dispatch fan (we are going to DC and Boston) and he was bummed when they broke up. However, for me it was the best thing ever as I am a huge State Radio Fan (seeing 5 shows this fall). That being said, I think I like SR better because it's all Chad's direction and when I listen to Dispatch I find myself mostly listening to Chad's songs. Either way new music from both equals me being happy. :D

    You know, I keep meaning to get into State Radio. I've heard quite a bit of their stuff and I really like it, but I feel like I haven't given them a proper listen...if that makes any sense. Chad is definitely brilliant...the next time they come through Chicago I'm going to have to check them out. I've seen Pete live before, and that was a great show. He was signing autographs and stuff afterwards too, totally cool guy!

    If you want slow and quiet I recommend SImmerkane 1 or Live at Brattle Theatre. If you want fast and loud I recommend Live at the Boston Pavilion or the DC bootleg. The Barn sessions is also awesome. Ironically, a Pete's song (Two coins) got me into Dispatch as this hippie guy in Key West covered it and my friend recognized it. But now I can't get enough of Chad's music. His solo shows are similar to Eddie's as he covers alot of the same material.

    I'll check out the Boston and DC live shows, thanks! I find myself favoring Chad's Dispatch songs as well, so I'm sure I'll love SR. I'm a huge fan of Pete's albums Untold and So They Say, after that he kind of lost me a bit. Nothing wrong with evolving your sounds, but it's almost getting too mellow-poppy for me, you know?

The Barn sessions is also awesome. Ironically, a Pete's song (Two coins) got me into Dispatch as this hippie guy in Key West covered it and my friend recognized it. But now I can't get enough of Chad's music. His solo shows are similar to Eddie's as he covers alot of the same material.

    I'll check out the Boston and DC live shows, thanks! I find myself favoring Chad's Dispatch songs as well, so I'm sure I'll love SR. I'm a huge fan of Pete's albums Untold and So They Say, after that he kind of lost me a bit. Nothing wrong with evolving your sounds, but it's almost getting too mellow-poppy for me, you know?
    I would recommend "Us Against the Crown". Fantastic album, top to bottom

    You are on spot on about Pete going to much the "poppy" route. Chad is so talented and basically keeps reinventing himself. On a personal note, he is from MA and went to school where my sister in law teaches. He is such a down to earth guy and really does not display any "rock star" status. He has the art teacher at the school do the posters for his concerts and when I am saw him at Tupelo Hall, the entire audience was basically his family and friends. He.who.forgets is right, Us Against the Crown is in my opinion their best studio album.

    On another note, I always laugh when people say Pearl Jam are "sells out" by providing their music to big businesses such Budweiser, Oracle or whatever to either promote their music or make money. Chad Stokes is the farthest thing from a "sell out" as he was living in his parents basement after Dispatch broke up and he just started State Radio. He basically donates all of his money to his CAC charity. But I was watching a Kaymen Hot dog commercial and I heard SR's songs Right Me up and Sybil and I thought to myself "are people now going to say Chad is a sell out"? Plus their song Keepsake is basically on every major tv network (Cold Case, Hawaii 5-0, Season finale of Weeds). My logic is, get your music out there anyway you can and if you sponsors want to pay you then it's a double win for the fan and band.

    Just back from Missoula and looking forward to Dispatch on Saturday in Boston, Ben Harper on Sunday in Noho and Dispatch again on Thursday in D.C. Then at the end of the month I have Chad solo and State Radio back to back for the annual Halloween shows in Noho. Gonna be a good month.

    Wow!! What an awesome month for you!! I've never seen State Radio...I need to get on that. The show last night was sooo awesome! They really had a nice mixture of old faves with stuff from the new record. Circles Around the Sun live is really awesome, as was Josephine and Sign of the Times. Before the encore it was Flying Circles into Elias...what a killer combo! Everyone in the venue was singing at the top of their lungs. Bats in the Belfry is always fun....I have to be honest that I don't like the way Pete sings Bullet Holes live, but otherwise it was a GREAT show!
