 Dr. Dog’s newest album, Fate, is rapidly approaching, and the band is unleashing a wealth of material in anticipation. First there’s the first official single, “The Ark,” a song chock-full of Biblical references and existential meaning that the band slipped out digitally last Tuesday, followed by a Stereogum premier that also included a multi-camera peek into the dog-house with “Hang On.” 
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg for the Philly-based band, who’ve already booked the next four months with premiers and performances. They’ll be landing in New York later this month for an appearance on everyone’s-favorite-late-night-television-show, Late Night with Conan O’Brien on Thursday, July 17th followed by stops at New York’s Bowery Ballroom on the 23rd and the Music Hall of Williamsburg on the 24th. And they’ll be swinging back through their hometown on August 13th for a free show at Philly’s Rittenhouse Square.
The July 22nd release of Fate holds extra promise for iTunes users, who will receive two bonus tracks and a second never-before-seen, in-studio video with purchase of the album. And while it seems like the band couldn’t be any busier, there is sure to be more on the horizon. Until then, fans will have to tune in to words of wisdom from the group and “Hang On.”
