Tune in to San Francisco's KFOG tomorrow (April 30th) at 8AM PDT and catch Zach and Pat on the radio, discussing the D Tour documentary, screening this week at the San Francisco International Film Festival.

For those of you in the Bay Area, you can tune in to 104.5FM or 97.7FM, or listen online from anywhere at www.kfog.com.

Following the initial success Pat Spurgeon's kidney transplant 13 years ago and the subsequent transplant failure, a new documentary, "D tour" is in the works that chronicles Pat's search for a living organ donor.

The film reflects on Pat's choice to keep touring while working toward the band's goals, the absolute need to perform dialysis daily, and the focus on his health being top priority while on the road. At an even deeper level, D tour addresses issues with the healthcare system, the lack of affordable insurance, the importance of organ donation, and much, much more.

D tour also features live performances from Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie), Nada Surf, Ryan Miller, John Vanderslice, The Moore Brothers, and of course, Rogue Wave.

Directed by Jim Granato, the film is a labor of love both creatively and financially. A brand new song by Rogue Wave (with Japonize Elephants) called "Positive Hero Worship" is a free download to anyone who donates to the film at www.dtourmovie.com.

To find out more about the film, see the trailer, and find out how to become an organ donor, visit www.dtourmovie.com.

Hey guys: We're really so sorry about all of the show cancellations in September and October. If you want to hear more about what is going on, go to the blog entry on our website. It has an update on what's happening.

Thank you so much to all the well-wishers.

Much love,
Rogue Wave

We regret to inform everyone that we've had to cancel our upcoming shows, which include Eugene, OR, New York, NY at Le Poisson Rouge, and Zach solo at Revenge of the Bookeaters in New York, NY.

Zach had a serious injury and is unable to play guitar or perform. Again, we never cancel shows unless it's absolutely necessary, and it's just not possible for the band to perform at this time.

We'll try to make these up to everyone as soon as possible.
