Dr. Dog "Last Tour" at the Wiltern & Observatory

Indie-folk band Dr. Dog has announced an upcoming North American tour! According to Dr. Dog, this is their "Last Tour" for a long time. Maybe ever! "Firstly, we are touring in the fall! Lastly, we are done touring after that. Done touring for good! It is a disturbing thing to read, I'm sure, and trust me, an equally unsettling thing to write, but it's all good. It's important to us that you understand that this is not a break up or anything like that. We don't know what Dr. Dog will do, we just know it won’t include going on tour, except the tour we're announcing now, which is going to rule."

For those wanting to see Dr. Dog on tour, the band will make local stops at the Wiltern on Tuesday, October 26, and at the Observatory on Thursday, October 28.
