Dinner Time
Blonde Bones | bandanna
Dinner Time
Artist Name: Dinner Time
Who Are They: An indie pop “supergroup,” if you will, that formed from the ashes of Ian Buford’s old band, the Pellys. As drummer Chad Miller (Antarcticats) told me, Dinner Time probably could’ve assembled before now, as three of the members—Miller, Buford, and Pop Weirdos auteur Bennett Kane—have been shuffling between each other’s bands for years now.
Members
Alejandro Uribe – Lead guitar
Ian Buford – Rhythm guitar, lead vocals
Bennett Kane – Bass, backing vocals
Chad Miller – Drums
Sounds Like: Start with Antarcticats, and that semi-tropical hammock rock, especially at high tide when the waves pound harder. Now imagine the band on the beach, but fully dressed in pressed button-downs and bowler haircuts. And then you realize, as the camera slowly zooms out, that you’re not really on a beach at all, but in a stylized model with plastic palm trees and bleach-white sand. Somewhere on the other side, Phil Spector is watching from his director’s chair; he approves, mostly, but wants to add some clever choreography and timpanis. No one’s got the time or money for either, so we’ve settled for the next best compromise: some twinkly chimes off-screen. Brilliant!
Releases: As of now, Dinner Time has only granted the internet “Walden Park,” but they promise to serve a second single by early August.
Mandatory Listening: Well, “Walden Park,” duh. See ‘Sounds Like’ above for details. However, if we fold in the members’ other projects, then I’d say Antarcticats’ latest long player I Know You Are, But What Am I? points most to what Dinner Time sound like now. See “Back By Midnight” for a scarily close analog of the same doo-wop swing, and “You’ve Got Something” for the hopscotch skip.

bandanna
bandanna (Anna Griffith, Nick Bell, Mason Palanti, and Timothy Holder) formed in Tallahassee, FL. in the garage of non-profit, Cat Family Records, in the summer of 2018. The indie-pop band gathered a lovely local following of friends and family, headlining shows at The Wilbury, Club Down Under, and Cat Fest and opening for bands like SALES, BRONCHO, and Girlpool.
In July of 2019, bandanna released their first full-band single, ‘Fire Escape,’ recorded at the Cat Family Records studio. Soon after the release, ‘Fire Escape’ scored a listing on Spotify’s officially curated ‘Fresh Finds’ playlist.
Following the release, bandanna packed up their boxes and moved to Atlanta, GA. After a few delightful shows at The Earl, the band began work on their debut LP, ‘uncertain/ty,’ with the talented and kind Damon Moon of Standard Electric Recorders. Singles, ‘Ghost Home’ and ‘Sleepy Eyes,’ introduce songwriter, Anna Griffith’s, powerful vocals and lilting melodies. bandanna’s diverse and wistful debut record, ‘uncertain/ty,’ will be available wherever you listen to music November 13, 2020.
