We don’t see a lot of Salt-N-Pepa dates these days, but the group hits Vegas for a HOB show on December 30; As I Lay Dying bulks up for 2008 with 20 new dates and Aussie favorites Baby Animals schedule ’08 dates downunder.

Look for April Wine in Calgary in March; Corey Smith adds shows in VA, NC, OH, PA and GA and Mr. Warmth Don Rickles adds shows in Atlantic City in January.

Want more new dates? How about Edwin McCain Band in GA and NC in February; Dan Deacon all over the U.S. and Australia in early ’08 and Blue Cheer in San Fran come February.

During the past couple of hours we also updated the schedules for Bang Camaro, Chris Trapper, Dax Riggs, Digital Underground, Egypt Central, Jonathan Richman, Papa Mali and The Cheeseballs.

But we ain’t done yet! Be sure to check out today’s wrap up – The Closing Bell – coming up around 5 PM (PST) from Pollstar.com.
