The Dials were the headliners on this one free Monday night at the Empty Bottle, some time last July. That same night I saw Alex and the Drummer, and the Walking Bicycles. I walked out of that night a fan of all of them. They are to me the soundtrack for the year 2008. These pictures are from when they played The Abbey Pub. I don't have as many pictures of the Beat Kitchen concert. And that's because I was too busy dancing to it. Taking the pictures takes from the impulse to dance and this time the dancing took priority. How do I sell this band to someone....let me try. If today you are a fan of The Long Blondes, then there is a good chance that you will like these locals the Dials. Blondie fans should give Dials a chance. The Bangles and Go Go's paved the road for my eventual appreciation as well. I throw all these names out as a type of short hand. The Dials latest CD is called Amoeba Amore it's their third. I have all three. There is something I like in each of them. They have this signature sound, intangible but recognizable, and certainly not formulaic. I saw them last week at Beat Kitchen. I will rant more when I get around this damn writers block.
