NIPP: Under the Radar

Under the Radar

	Bio
Bomber Records and Dispatch Present A Premier Screening of their new movie Under the Radar Every once in a while, a band rises up under its own power, fueled not by the record-company marketing machines but by the sheer excitement of its music and the underground buzz of its fans. The band emerges from the thousands of hardworking acts that traverse the country’s highways playing local bars and cramped clubs. It becomes clear that this band offers something different, something special, something…better. Right now, this band is Dispatch. You wish you’d heard of Dispatch first, before those people who always seem to have their ear to the ground. You wish you’d been lucky enough to get a ticket to see them at any number of legendary venues- the Fillmore Auditorium, Roseland Ballroom, Irving Plaza, the Fabulous Fox Theatre, the Orpheum Theatre. But no, all those shows were sold out. Now, with the release of Dispatch’s debut DVD Under the Radar, the quintessential grass-roots band is going public, and everyone’s got a backstage pass. Packed with explosive concert footage, candid interviews, behind-the-scenes action, in-studio recording sessions, and hilarious snapshots from the life of a touring band, Under the Radar is the story of Dispatch. A band whose funk and reggae packed rock has for the last six years remained one of the best-kept secrets in music. Some people caught on; Rolling Stone named the band’s last studio album one of the Top Ten releases of the year, and it debuted in the Top 20 on Billboard’s Internet sales charts. But now the secret’s out, and it’s about time. For anyone who’s been yearning for the day when music was good, when it was real, Dispatch is the antidote. And for anyone who has witnessed one of Dispatch’s epic concerts and wanted to be up on stage (and to see what happens next), Under the Radar is the ticket you’ve been waiting for.’
