Yes, that would be choice No. 3 as the band prepares for its first tour of America as the main event. Playing a series of clubs on both coasts plus a couple of shows in between, the U.S. outing marks the Sept. 21 U.S. release of Only Revolutions. Released in the U.K. last fall, the critically acclaimed album snagged a Mercury Prize nomination earlier this year.

The tour, which focuses heavily on America’s Northeast and California coasts, begins in Allston, Mass., at Great Scott Sept. 13, plays Washington’s DC9 Sept. 15 and hits Hoboken, N.J., for a gig at Maxwell’s Sept. 16.

The band then heads to Philadelphia for a show at the North Star Bar Sept. 17 followed by a show at New York’s The Studio At Webster Hall Sept. 18.

Moving inland, the band plays Chicago’s Lincoln Hall Sept. 20; the Epicenter 2010 Festival in Fontana, Calif., Sept. 26; San Francisco at the Rickshaw Stop Sept. 29 and Los Angeles at the Bootleg Theatre Sept. 30. Last stop is Las Vegas at the Hard Rock Oct. 1.
