Mediocre golf on a splendid Saturday morn (a brief pause while I crinch at Come Saturday Morning by the Sandpipers suddenly running through my brain), then a drive up I84/Mass Pike to Framingham for Peter's annual corn fritter fry postponed from an earlier date blocked by Hurricane Irene.
Listened to a discussion of the related bands Dispatch and State Radio amongst Chris, Aiden and Ron, Chris mentioning offhand that he taught member Chad Urmston (who also goes by Chad Stokes, his middle name) in high school, which completely surprised/impressed Aiden.
(From Wikipedia)- Dispatch is an American indie/roots band. The band consists of Brad Corrigan (vocals, drums, guitar, percussion, and harmonica), Pete Francis Heimbold (vocals, bass and guitar), and Chad Urmston (vocals, guitar, bass, and percussion). The band, which is based in the Boston area, was originally active from 1996 until 2002. The members then announced a hiatus, which would ultimately last for almost a decade; during this period, the band came together for reunion concerts in Boston (2004), New York City (2007) and Washington, D.C. (2009). The hiatus ended in the beginning of 2011, when the band announced a national tour. In May of the same year, Dispatch released an EP containing six new songs, their first all-new release since 2000.
State Radio is an alternative rock band from Sherborn, Massachusetts, consisting of Chad Urmston (lead vocals, guitar), Chuck Fay (bass) and Mike Najarian (drums). The band's first full-length album, Us Against the Crown, was released in December 2005, their second, Year of the Crow in September 2007, and their most recent album, Let it Go, in September 2009.
