There are at least 2 bands called The Dishes: 1) An obscure late 70s Canadian New Wave/Punk band who released an ep called "Hot Property!" 2) Chicago's Dishes have a reputation for being unusually concise even in the realm of punk rock--"to hell with a third verse, gimme gimme gimme another chorus and we're done," wrote one admirer of their first album. Like its predecessors, The Dishes and 1-2, the Dishes' new 3 (due out October 14, 2003, from File 13 Records) is a truly compact disc, clocking in at just over half an hour.
