Dawes touring w/ Peter Wolf Crier, Vetiver, Moondogies & the Romany Rye (2010 dates)

Dawes @ Lollapalooza 2010 (more by Josh Darr)

“So it was back to the Sony Bloggie stage to catch a pair of Americana/roots-rock acts, Dawes and Deer Tick, a pair of bands I knew nothing about and, hell, that’s what Lolla’s about, right? Discovering new acts you might not have otherwise ever had to the chance to see. I knew nothing about either band but found both enjoyable and great compliments to the mid-afternoon sun and shade mix of the stage. Dawes had an amiably country-fried sound that fits somewhere between two other bands at the fest: they’re rootsier than Blitzen Trapper while easing up on the honky-tonk of the Drive By Truckers. And if I’m not being clear enough, I mean that in a good way. Deer Tick followed with their own brand of roots/soul, lead singer John J. McCauley crooning “I can’t hang around with you like this my friend/ Our time has come to an end” on “Baltimore Blues No. 1” and his gravelly voice lent an edge to recent single “20 Miles.” Both bands provided a great respite from the larger crowds without slowing the momentum of the day. There was no lag in energy and I barreled on.” [Chicagoist @ Lollpalooza 2010]

Peter Wolf Crier, who has already played Bowery Ballroom and Music Hall of Williamsburg, now has two shows coming up at Webster Hall. The catch? They are/were the opener at all of them. On September 29th PWC will open the show for Rogue Wave and Midlake. On November 5th, PWC will open the show for Dawes and Vetiver. That November Webster Hall show is part of a new set of headlining dates for Dawes. Tickets for the NYC show go on AmEx presale at noon, and general sale Friday at noon.

PWC, after touring with Midlake and Rogue Wave, opens most of the new Dawes dates before being replaced by The Moondoggies whose new album “Tidelands” will be released by Hardly Art/Sub Pop on October 12th…

The album’s title was chosen by Moondoggies songwriter/frontman Kevin Murphy (vocals, guitar) as a nod to his old stomping grounds in Ketchikan, AK where he used to go to escape from civilization. Listening to the songs, the subtle, recurring themes of water throughout the album underscore that the songs are crafted to provide solace, sense and cause for celebration in a world fraught with turmoil.
“What the water represents can be taken many different ways,” says Murphy. “Many of the lyrics came to me while trying to be constructive in how I dealt with feeling depressed, rather than just getting wrapped up in my own head.”

All dates also have a third opener, and those duties are split by The Romany Rye (who recently played Bowery Ballroom and MHOW with Delta Spirit) and Vetiver. All dates below…
