WE: Let’s Hear It For ‘The Disparities’

Granati/OrangeFrog76 gets up close and personal with the brushes at a local car wash.

The Disparities: My friend Oliver Lemke and his brothers Julian and Harrison (all from Coeur d’Alene) are the three members of the indie pop band ” The Disparities .” I was a groomsman in Oliver’s wedding and played with Oliver and Julian at a high school talent show back home in Idaho so maybe I’m a bit biased when I say this, but they’re pretty good. Give ‘em a listen, rate their music at ourstage.com, friend them on MySpace , and maybe buy the album/ Wayward Episcopalian . You can listen to “The Wreck” by The Disparities here .
