Dashboard Confessional Readies an Emo Tour of America

Moody rockers fired up to unveil new material at summer shows

“仪表板之忏悔”的乐迷们今年夏天可要过足瘾了：主唱克瑞思·克拉巴的情绪化旋律与催人泪下的词作可要陪伴他们六周了，巡演将于今年6月30日开始于加拿大多伦多。在巡演之前，“仪表板”们将光临几个电台举办的音乐节——给观众带来些长久等待的新歌。

以下是详细报道：

Dashboard Confessional fans will get a dose of frontman Chris Carrabba's moody melodies and heart-on-sleeve lyrics when the emo outfit hits the road this summer for six weeks, beginning June 30th in Toronto. Pre-tour, Dashboard will visit several radio festivals -- including Irvine, California's KROQ Weenie Roast and Columbia, Maryland's HFStival -- to give audiences a taste of some long-awaited new songs.

The summer trek -- with support from Aussie singer-songwriter Ben Lee and emo punks Say Anything -- launches three days after the release of Dashboard's fifth studio album, Dusk and Summer. The band recorded the new material with Don Gilmore (Pearl Jam, Linkin Park), as well as Daniel Lanois (Bob Dylan and U2).

Tracks on Dusk and Summer include "Heaven Here" and "Don't Wait," which came to Carrabba one night after a show. "I walked offstage and wrote the song," he told Rolling Stone about the single. "I was really drawing on that energy." Carrabba, when he hits dates this summer in cities like Las Vegas and Milwaukee, will no doubt tap whole new reservoirs of energy.
