After deciding to take a break in 2005 , the band reformed and began touring in 2008 with a modified lineup consisting of original members bassist Scot Alexander , guitarist Rodney Cravens , keyboardist Jim Wood , and drummer George Pendergast . The lineup featured long-time friend , Justin Fox , singer of the Santa Barbara band Tripdavon , as a " Special Guest Vocalist " . On March 15 , 2009 , Dishwalla was asked to play a benefit concert for Tea Fire victims Lance and Carla Hoffman , who were badly burned in fires which hit Santa Barbara in November 2008 . The hugely successful event was put on by coordinated efforts with Santa Barbara City Fire , Santa Barbara County Fire , Montecito Fire , and Carpinteria/Summerland Fire departments
