Dish: Dynamics of the duo.

From: Katie Ball
Length: 09:04

A Deland, Florida band that surpasses all the hype. Read the full description.

404562963l_small Dish is a duo from Deland, Florida consisting of guitarist/singer Roberto Aguilar and his multi-instrumentalist brother Nathaniel. Together, this clever band creates pop-rock that both the band and its fans can be proud of - the fact that a number of their instruments consist of pots, pans and not-so-general pieces of rubbish is merely a bonus! Producer Katie Ball speaks with lead singer/guitarist Roberto Aguilar about some of the lesser known dynamics that drive the band.

Review of Dish: Dynamics of the duo.

Okay, I want to see this band NOW. That's the strength of Katie Ball's piece. There's something honest, raw, and hearteningly real about band member Roberto Aguilar's assessment of his strengths, and those of his bandmate, his brother Nathaniel. It's refreshing to hear a profile of a band that isn't chockablock with glittering adjectives -- Ball gets those out of the way up front, then basically lets us do the appraising. Fortunately, the piece has such great sound, I instantly pictured them banging away on their buckets.

After listening, I sought out Dish on Google, and found only their MySpace Music page. It was frustratingly spare. How does one find this band on the interweb?

Last note: Katie has a radio voice TO DIE FOR. Watch out, Starlee Kine!
