We are beyond excited to announce that we’ll be playing the @hollywoodbowl in Los Angeles with @jimmyeatworld on November 7. We’ll be performing Dog Problems in its entirety and Jimmy Eat World is going to play Bleed American. From listening to Jimmy Eat World as teenagers to touring with them in the early 2000s, it’s pretty surreal to be sharing the stage again more than 20 years later. Artist presale starts tomorrow, Thursday July 30 at 11am PT. If you are signed up for our text or email list

2026 marks the 20th anniversary of Dog Problems, and we’re celebrating with a special show at @radiocitymusichall in New York City on Friday October 9th. We’ll be playing the album in full, along with a mix of new songs and old favorites, and pulling out all the stops for our first-ever show at Radio City. We also want to make sure the night is affordable for everyone, so tickets start at $29.99 (plus fees 👎). Joining us are @thegetupkids, plus a special acoustic set from @phantomplanet. Tickets

Everything happening in this country (and beyond) is heartbreaking, and as an attempt to help those taking direct action against this insanely large group of Billionaire Pedophile Demons and their low iq subservient boot licking henchmen, we’ve decided to release the final song we’d written and recorded a year ago for Boycott Heaven, that for whatever reason didn’t end up on the final cut of the album. Unfortunately, this song about how awfully this ever declining shithole treats its immigrants

20 years in the making- something that was never supposed to happen. I mean this very sincerely when I say you could have run the simulation a thousand times, and this scenario would have only played out once. But I’m so happy it did. Making this album has been the highlight of a career that previously I was so relieved to have been done with. And yet somehow here we are- 12:07am, back in Phoenix where it all started. Special thanks to everyone who stuck around when we said it was only a “hiatus

Although millions of people are getting vaccinated every day, we’re feeling uncertain about this summer so we’ve decided to push @theformat reunion shows to next March and April, almost two years to the exact days that they were supposed to happen. Hopefully the third time’s a charm? 🤞🤞🤞 Oh, by the way - @joycemanorofficial will be joining us in New York and Chicago and @phantomplanet will be opening the shows in Phoenix. Existing tickets will be valid for the new shows. We've even made a handy
