Dr. Dog at The Orpheum – Feb 10th

As you may have heard, The Music Box has temporarily closed. We’ve decided to move our Los Angeles show on Feb 10 to The Orpheum. Sorry if this inconveniences anyone. We made the theater general admission so you can place yourself wherever you’d like. Ticket prices are the exact same and if you’ve already purchased your ticket you don’t need to do anything (except go to the correct venue). See you there! More info and tickets here.

New Album (Be The Void), New Tour Dates & Whatnot

Hello World,
It’s hard to know where to begin. We’ve spent a good deal of the last several months in a recording studio. Recording. The results and all that surrounds them are introduced to you below.

NEW ALBUM: BE THE VOID

That’s right! You start with 7 guys in a room staring at one another and then 5 months later you’ve got yourself a record. We love and are proud to share it with you.
So today you can hear the first song from BE THE VOID. It’s called That Old Black Hole. We made a video to memorialize a rodential friend lost in record making battle and you can see that here.

BE THE VOID PREORDER: NOW

If you give That Old Black Hole a listen and you like what you hear there’s some more news for you.
You can go to the dog site and preorder the album right now. Some people like to do this just to get it out of the way, they don’t want to carry the burden of having to remember to buy the album on February 7th, they just want to know that it’s done. They can rest assured that on February 7th they’ll wake up and there will be a link to download BE THE VOID in your electronic mailbox. If you decide to preorder the album you can also ask that it be shipped to your door on the medium of your choice. If you live close enough and he’s awake, Zach will personally come to your door and hand you the album. In the more likely event that he’s not awake you will receive the album via postal service (you’ll also get a link to download it should you choose a CD or 12”). If you’re quick (and you care) we’re going to sign the first 500 recordings we sell regardless of where that transaction takes place.

Inspired by the late Billy Mays, there’s more. If you decide to take this step, this preorder step, you will also get 3 new tracks for free, immediately. Like when you preorder the record you’ll get an email with a link to 3 new songs. What songs you ask? That Old Black Hole and Warrior Man (both from BE THE VOID) and Control Yourself. (If you’re keeping score at home Warrior Man and Control Yourself also combine to make the recently released Warrior Man 7″). Our record label calls this “instant gratification” and insists that in these times of short attention spans, music thievery and World of Warcraft the consumer (that’s you) will require an incentive of great proportion delivered at light speed. I guess we’ll see.

NOW: ON TOUR (ways to save money)

In celebration of this new album, this BE THE VOID, we’ll be hitting the road for some rock shows. All (by all we mean most) dates for the BE THE VOID tour are below. Our Fan Presale begins Wednesday November 30 (that’s tomorrow) at noon local time. Public on sale for all shows begins Friday December 2nd at noon local time. Head to the dog site for more presale info. As a matter of convenience and to exercise our technological muscle you’ll have the option to purchase BE THE VOID and whatever tickets you desire all at one time, thus simplifying your existential dilemma.

A word on this fan presale and how you can save a little bit of money. When we put these tours together we pay a lot of attention to how much it costs you. As you’ve no doubt noticed, when you buy a ticket the ticketing company will often charge a bunch of money on top of the ticket price for the privilege of buying a ticket. We don’t have a whole lot of control over what that fee is but the fan presale is one way we do. We get a limited number of tickets and we’re allowed to sell these tickets through any vendor we want. We’ve chosen a vendor whose ticket surcharges are significantly less. Fan presale tickets are available via the links below or at the Dr. Dog Facebook page while supplies last.

We’re excited for everyone to hear this album, and looking forward to seeing you when we’re in town. ‘Til then!

Love

Electric Factory Shows Announced

NOVEMBER TOUR

ROAD SICKNESS

Forrest got nostalgic about being on the road the other day and made this video, it’s a live track from a Stubb’s show we played in Austin last year. It’s actually been a little while since we’ve been on tour so we’re excited to take a break from recording and play some shows with Bright Eyes at the end of this month.

METH BEACH

It’s been difficult to squeeze in shows in the last few months, mostly cause we’ve been holed up here at Meth Beach making a new record. We can tell you it’s going great and we’ve had a lot of fun with it so far, but that’s all we’re gonna say. If you’re a bit out of the loop we’ve got some studio photos here.

NOVEMBER TOUR DATES

We’re looking forward to taking off the headphones and working out some of these new tracks live, and with that in mind we’re announcing a November Tour today. All the dates, links and details can be found here (including a few festivals this fall) and all November dates go onsale this Friday August 19th.

We hope your summer’s been treating you the way a summer should and we hope we get to see you soon.
Till then,

We’re also lucky enough to be playing some of our favorite festivals this summer that you might want to check out, and just before we head up to High Sierra we’re gonna have a party in San Francisco at the Independent. More info to come.
