Dashboard Confessional and Brand New November 4, 2008

Long Island's Brand New join Dashboard Confessional for a co-headline bill. The core of Dashboard Confessional is songwriter/guitarist Chris Carrabba, who had previously fronted bands such as Further Seems Forever and the Vacant Andies. Dashboard Confessional allows Carrabba to mold simple acoustics with passionate wordplay to make for a delightful introduction to his individual work. They are what they are. Fans of Brand New appreciate the blunt, no-nonsense approach the group takes to its music. The Long Island quartet's second album is titled 'Deja Entendu,' French for "already heard."
