In the "whose MTV video will draw in more teenyboppers" news:
Both Dashboard Confessional and Saves The Day have announced their fall headlining tours which essentially parallel each other in time and location. As for opening acts, none have been announced yet for the STD tour, but for the Dashboard shows, rumor has it that Hot Rod Circuit will support on the whole tour. This has not been confirmed. Piebald, however, has been confirmed to open on roughly half of the dates, from October 18th until the tour's conclusion in Tempe, AZ on November 2nd. As we get more info on the opening acts, we'll pass it along to you. All dates are below.
