A buddy of mine turned me on to this band. They are,…well, were really good before they split up in 2002. But I guess are is a better word since music is forever, right? Anyways, they have a really interesting bio you can check out over at Lala. Below is a paragraph describing their last concert affectionately called The Last Dispatch:
The band eventually scheduled a farewell concert to their fans, in order to get closure on the Dispatch portion of their lives. The free show was performed at the Hatch Shell in Boston on July 31, 2004. “The Last Dispatch,” as it was called, is said to be the largest concert in independent music history. The original prediction of the turnout was between 10,000 and 30,000. Fans flocked from Italy, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Mexico, New Zealand and Australia among others, making up an estimated total audience of 110,000.
I wish I was there.
What’s even more interesting than their bio, is their music. It’s in a genre of its very own. Now go grab a cocktail and have a listen.
