Dispatch June 21, 2011

Known as a band who attained superstar live status completely on their own terms, the members of Dispatch - Brad Corrigan, Pete Heimbold and Chad Stokes - released album after album on their own Bomber Records label, steering clear of the major label system and selling more than 600,000 albums. In the process the trio became true indie pioneers, building an enormous, passionate fan base through the embrace of internet file sharing, word-of-mouth and constant touring. Now, after their last live show in 2007, when they played three consecutive sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden, the group is hitting road again for the summer of 2010. During the tour the band will roll out their Amplifying Education campaign, which will focus on educational issues in the United States. Not only will a portion of the proceeds from each ticket sold go to benefit education in each local market, but the band is planning additional programs to spotlight education in every area they visit.
