Dr. Dog’s Fate is now available in stores! Much like 2007’s We All Belong, this long-awaited follow-up invites comparisons to rock faves The Beach Boys and the Beatles, but in the words of Vanity Fair, “Fate adds up to something completely original.” Hear all 11 tracks for yourself on the band’s MySpace page and at AOL’s Spinner.com and head over to iTunes for an extra special version of the album including two bonus tracks – “The Dearly Departed” and “Drop Me Off” – a bonus video for “From,” and a digital booklet for only $7.99.
Put the money saved towards (quickly selling out) tix to one of the band’s 33 remaining shows – including two rescheduled NYC dates originally planned for this week. The shows have been moved to late August following the Midwest and West Coast legs of the tour, and all tix already purchased for this week’s shows will be honored for the new events.
