Dredg Announces 2009 USA Tour

LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ Dredg Official Website) - Progressive rock heroes, Dredg will take the country by storm this summer co-headlining a nation-wide tour with RX Bandits. Supporting acts include Good oLd War, Zechs Marquise and As Tall As Lions. This tour comes on the heels of Dredg's current sold-out cross country trek and coincides with their fourth studio album, The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion, out on June 9th.

Aggressive and beautiful, visceral and thoughtful, The Pariah which is produced by Matt Radosevich, marks the Bay Area band's fourth full-length studio album. On this release, Gavin Hayes (vocals, guitar), Drew Roulette (bass, moog, speak & spell, samples), Mark Engles (guitar) and Dino Campanella (drums, keys) combine to create equal parts punk aggression and metallic complexity - a sound that brings together the artistic instrumentation, haunting vocals and emotional intensity that is Dredg.
Though driven by rhythms and guitars, The Pariah is far from a typical rock album. Inspired in part by Salman Rushdie's essay "Imagine There's No Heaven: A Letter to the 6 Billionth Citizen," Dredg capture the madness of the modern world, particularly its battles over religion and science, within a musical missive to the future. Fittingly, The Pariah is packaged and constructed like a letter, its songs and instrumental interludes connected by eerie, evocative Wurlitzer piano-and-voice segments. Diverse and textured, these intentional imperfections allow some of Dredg's mellowest recorded moments to mingle with some of their harshest.
Exact tour dates for the Dredg/RX Bandit will be announced soon. For more information, check out dredg.com.
