   About The Dimes


The Dimes on the fun train.

At first taste, The Dimes may remind you of a piece of peppermint candy peppermint candy you found in the pocket of an old sweater that’s been hiding in the back of your closet for sometime. Initially you hesitate, but then you take a bite and suddenly your mouth is exploding with a cool, fresh, minty flavor that makes you feel like you just brushed your teeth.

Currently the guys enjoy listening to artists such as Peter Bjorn and John , Black Rebel Motorcycle Club , The Arcade Fire, Iron and Wine , Matt Pond PA, The Shins, Fernando, Radiohead, The Magic Numbers , The Decemberists, Dolorean, and The Beatles.

When not rehearsing, recording, and playing Guitar Hero on PS2, you may find the guys loitering in the North Mississippi neighborhood of Portland, Oregon, where Pierre has been sighted carrying on long conversations with himself. Please be patient with him.

Hey guys! I sure miss ya'll. So, I'm going to be in Portland the first weekend of June (Ryan's b-day weekend) and so I would LOVE to be able to celebrate w/ya'll so let me know what your plans are. Even if no b-day celebrations I'd love to be able to catch dinner w/ya'll and get caught up on life. So let me know your thoughts. And hopefully, see you in a couple weeks!!!

It's a field trip for Geology to Mt. Tabor. it's only partly cool, becauseI have to drive myself and I don't get a sack lunch with a capri sun and a twinkie in it. College is not nearly as cool as grade school.

Just wanted to point out that I'm only the girl in the backround...people have been assuming I'm the guy.

I've never met the people I'm singing with here...I'm strange like that! :)
