Concert Review :: Dishwalla – Irvine City Hall – 02005-09-18

This was a super fun show. The musical highlight was a cover of Elvis Presley’s Suspicious Minds. This late period grunge band just has a lot of fun up on stage. The Irvine Housewives really went crazy for all the rock star antics. Jack and I spent most of the show either wrestling or smashing bubbles. Kate and I did get some dancing in, but I spent no time with Lisa who I think was mostly just hanging out with her sister Emmy, or perhaps falling in love with Rock and Roll all over again. Kerry decided that Dishwalla was her new favorite band, but would not get an autograph after the show. Jim, his wife, and Mitchell were there. Their neighbor, big UCLA fans, were also there – he does IM for FNIS so we talked a lot about that. I actually saw very little of the show, but as the sun was going down the band definitely moved into that magical jam space where all that they ever wanted was happening and the music was just flowing and everything was abosuletly perfect in the world. It is a amazing how I can laugh at a washed up band one minute & then have them complete blow my mind the next. I bought the most recent record and it is awesome. Very talented guys.
