Backstory:
Total Dish was a brainchild of two high school friends, Jenny ‘Jett’ Tremaine and Max ‘Mack’ Kennedy, who found a mutual love for music during their early teenage years in the suburban town of Shorewood, Illinois. Sharing a garage, they would often jam with their ragtag instruments, causing a ruckus in the neighborhood. Their musical prowess earned them the nickname ‘Total Dish’ by their friends and neighbors, a term usually used to describe someone attractive, they considered their music to be more attractive than they were. The duo decided to keep the name, adding a touch of irony to their musical journey.
After graduating, Jett and Mack decided to take a leap and move to Los Angeles to pursue music full-time. It was here they were joined by drummer Chris ‘CJ’ Johnson and bassist Liam ‘Levi’ Evans. With a full line-up, they hit the LA music scene, performing in small clubs and bars, slowly but steadily creating a buzz with their infectious energy and raw talent.
