Dishwalla came out in the early '90's when the music world was over
saturated with bands that all had the same sound. The alternative, but
mainstream pop rock that rock fans loved. Dishwalla fell right into
that genre and just like all the rest, were a one-hit wonder band. They
were from California, just north of Los Angeles and singer J.R.
Richards (also plays various keyboarded instruments) could possibly be
why the band achieved some of the success. He has an appealing voice
along with a very attractive face.
Girls loved him. Pet Your Friends contains a total of twelve tracks
with three of them released as singles. The most popular track was the
song "Counting Blue Cars" with it's catchy melodies and simple
sing-a-long lyrics like "Tell me all your thoughts on God, cause I'd
really like to meet her". Other tracks like "Miss Emma Peel" and
"Charlie Brown's Parents" we all are familiar with, because of their
reference to childhood characters. They both have the heavy melodic
guitars with singer Richards sweet vocals.

Dishwalla Biography
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, Dishwalla's 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 Life's About was released in
1998; promotion and sales were lackluster due to label downsizing.
Dishwalla's 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.
