La Dispute recently played a show in their hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan and played a couple of cover songs. One of them was a cover of Third Eye Blind’s song Graduate. I was pretty excited to see the video of a band that I listen to so much now covering a song that I’ve listened to since it first came out back in 1997. I never really expected La Dispute to cover a song like this, but they did a pretty good job I think. It was a bit shaky at times but they always bring so much energy to the stage that overshadows any minor flaws. The crowd seemed really into the song and I can’t blame them. I would be jumping off of that stage with them had I been lucky enough to be at that show.
For those that are unfamiliar with La Dispute:
The band formed in 2004 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. They first released an EP entitled Vancouver in 2006. That was followed up with a few 7” records until 2008 when they released their first album Somewhere At The Bottom Of The River Between Vega And Altair. During November/December of 2010, the band toured Canada with Alexisonfire and Norma Jean. The Michigan group recently recorded a follow up to their 2008 debut and it is set to be released on October 4th, 2011. Their sophomore album will be called Wildlife. Here is a track off of the up coming album.
