I haven’t seen this before and it was posted back in June… so I’m posting about it now.

Don’t Forget that if you see anything DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL related that you email it to:

There are numerous places emo superstar Chris Carrabba can’t go without a throng of screaming adolescents trailing him. Fortunately, the rock & roll dive bar WXOU Radio in Manhattan’s West Village is not one of them. Here, hidden among a rowdier crowd, Carrabba, who is synonymous with Dashboard Confessional (the four-piece band he fronts), is able to watch the Yankees-vs.-Red Sox game prominently playing on the TV and announce his lifelong loyalty to the Bronx Bombers. (Alas, they lose 9-5.) A few drinks help to reveal more surprises tucked under the singer-guitarist’s heavily tattooed sleeves: a vast, anthem-heavy new album (Dusk and Summer, out June 27), an unlikely friendship with a ’90s alt-rock icon, and an ability to toss ‘em back. Three of them, at least.

Here’s a review from Entertainment Weekly from the concert in Radio City Music Hall in NYC [Aug 12]…

She liked Say Anything’s 30 min set more (i did too)

One year after touring with stadium fillers U2, Dashboard Confessional are drawing decent crowds of their own — on Aug. 12, in fact, they sold out New York’s Radio City Music Hall. The crowd was made up mostly of teenage girls and women in their 20s — all of them obsessed with frontman Chris Carrabba, to the presumed dismay of the unfortunate young lads they’d dragged along. (Also in the house: Carrabba’s No. 1 fan, his mother, whom he dutifully acknowledged during the show.)

The band is the brainchild of Carrabba, and tellingly, from the moment Dashboard stepped on stage, the spotlight was trained on him. It was almost painful to watch the rest of the band, including special guest violinist Susan Sherouse, who often performs and records with the group, slip into the shadows. Perhaps Dashboard Confessional will always be a solo act, the way Carrabba intended it to be back in 1999.
