(9/10/02, 12 p.m. ET) -- Indie-rock darling Dashboard Confessional will hit the road in October with the latest round of tour dates in support of its breakout album, The Places You Have Come To Fear The Most, featuring the single "Screaming Infidelities."
The Florida group has 27 shows slated through early November, beginning October 1 in West Palm Beach. Dashboard's Vagrant Records labelmates Hot Rod Circuit will serve as the main support act throughout the tour while Ash appears October 1-17. Old 97's frontman Rhett Miller joins October 19-November 2. Honorary Title also appears on the first three dates (October 1-3) and Loudermilk will be on the bill on October 4-7, 10, 11, and 14.
The dates come amid the Dashboard Confessional's continued move toward mainstream success, perhaps best noted by its victory in the MTV2 category at the recent Video Music Awards. The group's clip for "Screaming Infidelities" bested efforts by the Hives, the Strokes, Norah Jones, Musiq, and Nappy Roots.
Dashboard singer-songwriter Christopher Carraba told LAUNCH about winning the award. "One, we never dreamed of it at all. Somebody asked us if this has met all our dreams. I never dreamed of this? This so outlandish and so far out of our realm of dreams," he said.
Dashboard Confessional's The Place You Have Come To Fear The Most has now been on the Billboard 200 for 24 weeks, with nearly 300,000 copies sold domestically since its release in March 2001.
