The band will squeeze in a couple of California shows between Europe and the Japan dates, which include an appearance at Chiba’s “Magic Rock Out Festival.” The North American leg gets going in earnest March 25 in Chicago.

The dates stretch for just over three weeks, capping off with an April 16 gig at The Rave / Eagles Club in Milwaukee.

The Distillers, consisting of Brody Dalle (ex-Armstrong), Ryan Sinn, Tony Bradley and Andy Granelli, are currently supporting their third album – and major-label debut – Coral Fang, released last October on Sire.

L.A. punks The Icarus Line, whose sophomore release is due out this year, are set to support in North America.
