Last night, emo godheads Dashboard Confessional and pop-punk has-beens New Found Glory kicked of a national acoustic tour here in L.A., fittingly at this city’s most famous home of strum, the Troubadour. Read about the surprising results here (via Spin).

Balls for all my friends!

There’s also a separate photo gallery featuring Andrew Herrold’s excellent images from the night, and you can read my review of Dashboard’s Alter The Ending here (via The A.V. Club).
