Blending diverse influences into a constantly fermenting mash of energy slop-rock and precision jazz-grunge, this quartet incites audiences to pay attention and hold on. Spawned in early 2004, guitarist Ben Chandler and bassist Justin Helenius hooked up with a pair of Western Washington University jazz musicians, drummer Devin Anderson and keyboard/saxophone player Eli Jayson. The connection was immediate. Dig the Particulars has since relocated to Seattle where they recently celebrated the release of a new album titled Above the Ground. Selected by New York-based Farmhouse magazine for the 2006 Readers' Choice Award, Dig the Particulars continues to build an excited and dedicated community of fans. Dig it.
