“Apocalyptic Romance”: HERE

“With a new album coming out and 20 years of ‘Because I’m Awesome’ on the horizon, we’re thrilled to play some new songs live for the very first time while celebrating a record that means a ton to us and the fans. Making music now feels as urgent and fresh for us as it did two decades ago, and this tour’s going to wrap it all up in one big bow!” — Kelly Ogden

The upcoming tour will feature the first-ever live performances of songs from the forthcoming album, alongside a special celebration of the 20th anniversary of Because I’m Awesome. Each show will feature songs from the fan-favorite album, originally released March 13, 2007, giving audiences a chance to revisit the record that cemented The Dollyrots’ place in the pop-punk landscape.

“We originally wrote the title track to ‘Because I’m Awesome’ from a sarcastic point of view, and after it came out, we realized it was being adopted as an anthem of self-empowerment. Ever since then, we’ve embraced that feeling. It means so much to us when people come up to us and tell us how that song and album has gotten them through a challenging time. Even after 20 years, it’s humbling to have a record that continues to resonate.” — Luis Cabezas
