Dave Hause Announces Fall North American Tour Dates; Releases Video for "The Flinch"

(Press Release) Rise Records and acclaimed singer-songwriter Dave Hause are excited to announce his upcoming fall tour dates. Beginning with an appearance at this year’s XPoNential Festival in Camden, NJ this Saturday, July 29, Hause will be touring North America with his band, The Mermaid, for numerous headline appearances as well as shows alongside Strand of Oaks, Gogol Bordello, Tiger Army, and a full month of dates with Beach Slang. A full listing of dates can be found below with more information on Hause’s official website, http://www.davehause.com.

Additionally, Hause has released the music video for “The Flinch,” taken from his latest full-length studio album, Bury Me In Philly. Starring his nephew, Judah, the clip tells the story of Hause discovering the music of The Hooters when he was eight-years-old along with the permanent impression it made on his personal life and chosen career path. The video, which also features live footage from Hause’s recent WXPN “Free At Noon” concert, can be streamed via YouTube.

Sometimes you have to move forward in order to see where you started out—and the hardscrabble wisdom that one gains from that type of journey forms the backbone of Dave Hause's third full-length, Bury Me In Philly. “Punk rock guilt is a real thing,” the lifelong Philadelphian says from his new home in California. “I like to make rock n' roll music because that's what I love and I don't care if Zeppelin or the Stones aren't cool to the punks ... it's cool to me and that's what matters.” In that spirit, Bury Me In Philly is a love letter both to his hometown as well as the larger-than-life rock acts he grew up worshiping as a teenager.
​
For the follow-up to 2013's Devour, a newly sober Hause holed up in his new home and wrote nearly forty songs, eleven of which would end up as Bury Me In Philly. “One thing I was focused on was trying to make the songs more concise and uplifting than the last record. My last album was a divorce record and during the touring of it I fell in love with my fiancé, moved to California and things got a lot better.” Hause's newfound perspective allowed him to dig even deeper as a songwriter, whether he's getting intimately introspective on the tender ballad “Wild Love” or channeling that into shot of sonic adrenaline on monster anthems such as “Shaky Jesus.” From the fuzzed-out boogie of “Dirty Fucker” to the folksy sing-along vibe of “Helluva Home” and the classic rock-inspired groove of “The Mermaid,” Bury Me In Philly may not be an easy album to categorize but it's a joy to get lost inside. 

"Dave is a lifer. He always has his eyes steady focus forward and on making each song 
better than the last. There's not going to be a stopping point for Dave; it's a train going 
forward. For me, I've enjoyed every minute of the ride being his friend."
– Brian Fallon, Solo Artist / The Gaslight Anthem

Affectionately known as “The Songwriters’ Songwriter” by those in the know, Bury Me In Philly has already amounted to over 1,000,000 cumulative plays on Spotify alone and sales of his infamous “Dirty Fucker” line of tour merchandise–which has featured images of both Donald Trump and a shamed New Jersey Governor Chris Christie–has allowed the band to donate thousands of dollars to pro-immigration organizations and refugee causes. 

Continuing his never-ending onslaught of “spit-shine” working class tales that run the relatable gambit of disappointment and heartbreak (but still ultimately show us that good guys really do win in the end), Hause will be bringing these anthems to venues across North America throughout the rest of 2017.
