So, many folks were sad to hear The Dishes broke up. But be sad no more since the demise of one band means the birth of two! Here it is straight from Kiki Yablon?s, ex-guitarist for the Dishes, mouth:
Sarah’s [Sarah Staskauskas] brand-spanking-new band is Camaro Rouge, with Andrea Jablonski (Drapes) on bass and Arman Mabry (Hamicks, Whiteouts) on drums. They’re making their debut Saturday, July 24, at the Third Annual Cal’s Fest, in the alley two doors west of Cal’s Liquors at Wells and Van Buren. They play at 8 PM but the fest goes on all day, starting at 11:30 in the morning. It’s $5 and proceeds go to Working Bikes, which donates refurbished bikes to folks who can’t afford new ones.

My new band [that’d be Kiki Yablon] the Red Eyed Legends, with Chris Thomson (Circus Lupus, Monorchid, Skull Kontrol) on vocals and guitar, Jason Dummeldinger (Silverbacks, Cinco de Gatos) on bass, and Paul John Higgins on drums, is playing Thursday, July 22, at 10 PM at the Empty Bottle with Federation X and the Cheeps. This will be my first show playing guitar as well as Farfisa in REL.
This also answers the questions I?ve been sent about Jablonski?s rumored departure from The Drapes! I love it when news nuggets tie everything so neatly together?
