Dr. Dog Postpones New York Shows

We have some unfortunate news for all you Dr. Dog fans out there that picked up your copies of the band’s fantastic new album Fate yesterday and were listening to it non-stop in anticipation of tonight’s and tomorrow night’s shows at the Bowery Ballroom and MHOW respectively. The Philadelphia psychedelic-popsters announced that they would postponing the shows until next month. Here’s the scoop straight from the band…

Hey Folks

There’s no way to say this and make it sound good. We have to reschedule the two NYC shows cause Toby is still not able to sing. He is getting better very quickly but there are pieces of voice that just aren’t there yet.. like they don’t make any sound… it’s weird. This is really shitty on all kinds of levels not the least of which is that there are some people that have been planning on coming to these shows for months… including us.

We came up to New York today to meet with a vocal coach in the hopes that she could help Toby get back up to speed but it just did not go the way we hoped it would go. This is a really hard decision to make because any way we look at it it feels like we’re letting people down. That said, a Dr Dog show without Toby singing is not a Dr Dog show.

We’re really sorry this is happening and we know we’re putting a lot of people out. The rescheduled dates are below and we hope you can come. If you cannot, the price of your tickets will be refunded at the point of purchase. If you can make the shows just bring your tickets and if you have Will Call tickets they will be available at the door as usual.

I’ve been really looking forward to the show tonight, but we wish Toby a quick and full recovery and can’t wait till they swing back through town in August.
