Roberto and Nathaniel Aguilar are brothers.
They play guitars mandolins vocal cords pots pans guttertubes various pieces of sheet metal and whatever else comes to mind.
Roberto and Nathaniel Aguilar are brothers. No Jack-and-Meg-White mystery about it. The two members of Dish have bickered on family car trips, fought over bunk beds and cruised the streets of their hometown of Damascus, Maryland their whole lives. But more importantly, they discovered music together, and the pairing of Robertos organic, genre-busting singing and guitar work with Nathaniels junk-gypsy found percussion has been a decade in the making.
Thats exactly what Dish is- two left-of-center musical minds preternaturally in tune with each other to create a sound without peer on the current pop scene. Their ten-song debut album for SouthStar Records, Love and Friction, was recorded in three feverish days in Los Angeles by Jay Bellerose and Jennifer Condos and engineered by Ryan Freeland (who recently helmed Aimee Manns The Forgotten Arm). The album veers from the impressionist dreamscape of Im Ready to the shout-a-long, Bends-era Radiohead-esque title track without missing a beat on the corrugated drainpipe or office-supply water jug.
Its that intensity of performance and songcraft that have, quite simply, leveled audiences wherever Dish has played.
Come for the buckets, stay for the groundbreaking music. Dish will play your kitchen sink and blow the roof off the place.
Thanks 4 the ADDD! here is a lil sum 4 ya hope to hear back from you soon...
I am not my scars I know you see my pains reflection through the window of my eye Every let down, misconception, every hurt, and every lie. I try to cover up, yet my nakedness still shows, You see me, in my truest form, I am vulnerable and exposed. Sometimes the phantom of my past appears, though I try to forget Even when I hide it in the darkness, I still see its silhouette. So why do I regret…? These events are the fabric of who I’ve come to be Every instance like a fiber woven in my life’s tapestry. I can only look back for wisdom, I must let this be my strength But even I have yet to discover the true extent of its length. I have only gone so deep, on the surface it hurts so much When I feel my ugliness visible, I just want to cover up. But these memories, the pain from my past, and what I see… This is only an illusion, not the definition of me. I am not my downfalls, and I am not my mistakes, Yet when they look at me, this is all they seem to take. But look at ME, look into my soul… Look at who I really am, not the scars that clearly show. I have to remind myself who I am every day, Because everyone and everything tries to lead my mind astray. They want me to believe I am who they see me to be… They try to show me what I’ve overcome as if it’s still me. Will I live up to be the conceptions as they have made Or will I make my own path, let the past lie where it may See, I am not my scars, my scars are just the proof That I have healed from my afflictions, and I have made it through. -Fiyah Shoot ur email addy over to get on my mailing list! have a great day! =)
