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.
Dish, I saw you guys for the first time at Taste few weeks back. Your music blew me away. It was nice talking to you afterwards. I'm enjoying the cd's! See you at the next show.
Yay! I voted for you guys! And I think I'll never get back on that website unless I can place an unlimited amount of votes! lol. I love your guys' music! Chris talks about you two all the time and how much he misses playing. I make him play for me whenever I get a chance. Hopefully we'll be down that way soon. I'd love to see you guys play! Hope you guys win!
I've officially decided that I could see you play 7 nights a week and I'd still get enough surprises to make me pogo around like a happy doofus. So freaking awesome last night!! Your set turned by dark mood back to the light. Thanks guys.
Roberto and Nathaniel, thanks so much for a lovely time at The New Day Cafe'. My friends really enjoyed your set. And they bought stuff, and that's always extra special! Love, T
