VIALIVESTREAM
BAND TO TOUR NORTH AMERICA THIS FALL

Circles Around
The Sun, the new studio album from Dispatch, is available
today via the band's own Bomber Records. Available in stores and at all
digital retailers, the album was produced by Peter Katis (Interpol, Jonsi,
The National), and is the band's first studio album in over a decade.
Relix recently praised the album, stating,
"Dispatch fans old and new will embrace Circles Around The Sun."
As put by Consequence of Sound, "[Circles Around The Sun]
is, without hyperbole, one of the best tracks Dispatch has ever written, and
if there's a better way to kick off your first album in over ten years, it's
hard to imagine."
On Thursday, August 23rd at 3:00p EST the band will
partner with Livestream for a live acoustic performance and fan
chat streamed at http://new.livestream.com/livestreamsessions/dispatch. Fans
can follow the page for updates and to be notified when the session goes
live.
Having recently performed at the Bonnaroo and Outside Lands
music festivals, the band will embark upon the Circles Around The Sun Tour in
September, the band's most extensive North American tour in over a decade.
Kicking off on September 20th in Vancouver, BC at the Commodore Ballroom, the
run of dates will wrap on October 12th in Atlanta, GA at Constitution Hall.
Dispatch will be offering live audio downloads of every show on the North
American leg of tour within 48 hours of the show ending. The list of tour

ABOUT DISPATCH
Dispatch is Chad Stokes, Brad Corrigan, and Pete
Francis. After forming in New England in 1996 and through intense word
of mouth and fan loyalty, Dispatch went on to become one of the biggest draws
on the live music scene, and arguably one of the biggest independent rock
bands in History. The band released their debut album in 1996, an
acoustic-driven folk-pop affair called Silent Steeples, on their
own Bomber Records followed by 1998's reggae-flavored Bang Bang.
In 1999 the band released their third album Four Day Trials.
After a brief hiatus during which various members pursued solo endeavors, in
2004 the group organized a free show in Boston on the Esplanade, anticipating
perhaps 20,000 people would turn up. The concert became the largest show in
independent music event history (documented in the feature film The
Last Dispatch). In 2011 the trio decided to record new music, which led
to last year's Dispatch EP and now Circles Around
The Sun.
