艺人介绍

Dishwalla是一支来自美国加州圣巴巴拉市的非主流摇滚乐队，乐队成立于1994年，迄今一共出版了五张专辑。乐队的名字Dishwalla来自于印度的一个俗语，意指使用非法设备破解卫星电视的加密信号并与邻居分享的人。Dishwalla的音乐属于post-grunge风格，他们将摇滚的深刻柔情与流行元素完美融合创作出一股新鲜的音乐风格。在90年代Dishwalla与着名的Semisonic、Gin Blossoms、Fastball一起被誉为音乐新潮流的先锋乐队。

1995年，Dishwalla乐队发行了他们的首张专辑Pet Your Friends，但是这张专辑在长达一年的时间里都在唱片店的货架上冷落蒙尘，直到专辑中的第三首单曲Counting Blue Cars在摇滚电台大受欢迎，登上Billboard杂志的Hot 100名单（名列第15位）并且横扫1996年的各大音乐排行榜。这张专辑也因此热卖，销量超过一百万张。但是也因为这首单曲取得了如此好的成绩，在之后很长一段时间里，Dishwalla更多的被视作为一支昙花一现的乐队（One-Hit Wonder），因为Dishwalla所属的唱片公司重组影响了他们下一张唱片的发行，他们在此之后的单曲再也没有取得过类似的好成绩了。不过Dishwalla的忠实乐迷们并不因此而觉得失望，乐队更换唱片公司后发行的第三张专辑Opaline得到了乐迷的一致好评。

2005年，Dishwalla发行了他们的第五张专辑，也是乐队的同名专辑Dishwalla。

The Santa Barbara, CA, band Dishwalla made a big splash in 1996 with their catchy pop single Counting Blue Cars. With the gritty heart and soul of those who came before them, Dishwallas hard rock sound was enough for fans to make Counting Blue Cars one of the most-requested songs of that year. The song also garnered the band a Billboard award for Rock Song of the Year and allowed their debut album, Pet Your Friends, to sell more than a million copies.

Dishwalla, which emerged out of the early stages of post-grunge, is composed of J.R. Richards (vocals), Scot Alexander (bass), Rodney Browning (guitar), Jim Wood (keyboards), and George Pendergast (drums). They spent the mid-90s touring with the likes of Sheryl Crow, Blind Melon, and the Goo Goo Dolls in support of Pet Your Friends. Prior to making a second album, the band was caught in the middle of the Polygram/Universal merger and such a move left Dishwalla pondering what to do next. Their second album And You Think You Know What Lifes About was released in 1998; promotion and sales were lackluster due to label downsizing. Dishwallas time with A&M was shortlived and exhausting because of such corporate behavior, but they stuck it out to contribute their cover version of Policy of Truth for the Depeche Mode tribute album For the Masses. By the new millennium, Dishwalla left behind major-market America for a third album. They signed with Immergent while Pendergrast left the band. Pete Maloney, a drummer picked up on the 1998 tour, resumed percussion duties. In 2002, Dishwalla appeared sound and sane, issuing the experimental third album Opaline. A self-titled album followed in 2005.
