The Dials "3 Is Better Than 4" (9.3 MB) High Noon Saloon Madison, WI December 31, 2007

Of the new stuff the Dials played, this one was my favorite, and it's conveniently available at their Myspace page. I tend not to notice the difference between songs sung by the two singers on their records, but when Patti Gran takes the lead live, as she does here, she brings a kind of crazy punk pixie energy to it that's really invigorating. This song plays it up really well, too, with a bit of rawness to it.
