   About Dope Smoothie

Dope Smoothie's "Cans" - (Director's Cut)

Seattle's Dope Smoothie has become a catalyst for the sophisticated melodies and engaging lyrics of singer/guitarist Josh Bate. Nimble bassist Veck Coleman and the driving style of drummer John McCallum has turned Dope Smoothie into a torrential musical force with live shows becoming energetic displays of raw grit and humor. Through the course of recording their latest full-length, 'Go Strike', the band acquired the skills of keyboardist Daniel J. Fox. Dan's poignant and sometimes quirky inflections have channeled the bands sound to a music bursting with color and shock. Dope Smoothie has achieved success over the airwaves with their debut album 'for milking' and the follow-up LP 'Go Strike', receiving airplay on nearly 400 radio stations across the U.S., bitch. The band has performed at some of Seattle's most respected venues and festivals, and has successfully toured up and down the west coast and across anywhere America ..."Aww, fuck yeah!"

"...Go Strike is one of the strongest records Ive heard all year. I give it the Music Underwater Likes This Album More Than The Arcade Fire award. A-" - Music Underwater

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Combine hyperactive, slaphappy bass with stylish beats and hypnotically, catchy lyrics, and you have For Milking by Dope Smoothie. Needless to say, it was a great drive to work, and I ended up being 15 minutes late, because I sat in the parking lot and listened to the rest of the album. But it was worth it." - Tastes Like Chicken

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"...Solid mid-tempo down-home rock'n'roll with semi-punk aesthetic. Kooky songs and great guitars." - Hybrid Magazine

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"......Big-bore bass lines and thick drums lay a sturdy foundation for Dope Smoothies sometimes furious sometimes haunting guitar. Definitely worth a listen." - WBKE 89.5 FM

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"...rich and easy guitars and honest fucking sounds made on sure footing with a solid mission. If I was still playing music... I'd be playing music like this. A-" - Pop Culture Chaos

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"...Go Strike indicates that Dope Smoothie's perspective on making music is both ambitious and forward-looking." - Left Of The Dial

I'm not going back to Canada, just to visit fam and then I'm staying in this wonderful country! "Welcome to the south, here's your stained wife beater and a trailer" Oh yes... Louisiana!
and the great thing about living with Josh is that we are equally messy :) I'll see you when you tour, take care.

Are you guys ever going to put a profile pic up that actually has you guys in it? Or have Chevy Chase, Rick Moranis, Martin Short, or Steve Martin joined the band and I wasn't told yet by John E. Mack? Hey, tell Booger and the Weener crew I said "howdy"!
