Fans of Dashboard vocalist Chris Carrabba love singing along to the emo heartthrob's gut-wrenching odes to his ex-girlfriend so often (and so loudly) at shows that they sometimes drown out the tattooed twentysomething at the mike. Last here in November 2002, Dashboard returns March 26 for a 7 p.m. show at the Pipe-line Café.
Tickets at $20 each go on sale tomorrow at the Blaisdell box office and Times Supermarkets. Charge online at www.ticketmaster.com, or by phone at (877) 750-4400.
