"FOR THE LOVE OF DISHWALLA" --
Reviewed by M. Kohli

01.11.02 (VELVET JONES, SANTA BARBARA--CA):

The crowd waited in anticipation for the members of DISHWALLA to come on stage. The talk of the night was, "Have you heard about, 'OPALINE'?" "Can't wait to hear the new stuff". Finally after the two opening bands, GRAVITY WILLING and KARMACANIC--92.9 KJEE d.j., BIG LOU comes on stage and introduces the band.

The band opens up with the title track from their forthcoming album, "OPALINE" (Due on April 23, 2002 on IMMERGENT RECORDS). The moment the band begins their second song, "HAZE", people are already waving their arms and heads to the beat of the song.

Even my head was bopping through the entire set. Especially on well-performed tracks as, "CHARLIE BROWN'S PARENTS", "STAY AWAKE", and (of course) "COUNTING BLUE CARS".

J.R. Richards has a voice that could sooth an entire crowd and yet mezmorize you at the same time. The band has an incredible energy on stage and the music just seems to embrace the entire audience.

This show proved that the love for DISHWALLA is still very strong. Musically, there is a unique bond between the fans and the band. The love in the air was so strong that not even the angriest soul could break it.
