The one-time Neil Young cover band (hence the name) has been doing its own thing for awhile now, selling close to a million records in Australia and generating enough heat to fly across the Pacific for the first time as a headliner.

The 22-city trek is in support of their fourth studio album, Odyssey Number Five, and rolls out May 23 in Toronto. The club tour touches down in big cities coast-to-coast, including Atlanta, New York City, Philadelphia, Boston, Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle.

Powderfinger will also be a featured act at the two-day WHFS radio festival in Washington, D.C., over Memorial Day weekend.

The Brisbane-based band is poised to be the biggest Australian import since the days of Midnight Oil and INXS, now that it has thoroughly dominated its home country. This month, Powderfinger graces the cover of the Australian edition of Rolling Stone magazine, which proclaimed the fivesome Band of the Year.

And with its first U.S. single, “My Happiness,” finding a home on modern rock radio, Powderfinger is on target for international success.
