The National returns to The Pabst for a July show.

The Pabst welcomes the return of The National

Published March 18, 2009 at 2:31 p.m.

It's been a couple years since The National toured in support of its acclaimed 2007 release "Boxer," and honestly, not that much has changed with the band in the meantime.

Only one new song has surfaced, "So Far Around the Bend," which appears on "Dark Was the Night," a 31-track compilation that brothers (and The National members) Aaron and Bryce Dessner produced to benefit the AIDS-fighting Red Hot Organization.

But if you missed them when they played The Pabst Theater in September 2007, you're getting a second chance. They've booked another Milwaukee date and will be at The Pabst again on July 17 at 8 p.m.

Tickets are $22.50 and go on sale Friday, March 27 at noon at The Pabst and The Riverside box offices, online at pabsttheater.org or by calling (414) 286-3663.
