Their new tour begins March 4 in Los Angeles at The Echo. They’ll do three more California dates before jumping across the Pacific for a quick stop in Japan. Next comes their U.K. stretch, which includes an April 2 stop at the All Tomorrow’s Parties fest.

The band will be back in the U.S.A. – Denton, Texas, to be exact – on April 15 to kick off 19 shows in 18 days. They’ll hit Boston, Mass., and Providence, R.I., on April 24.

All this frenzied globe-hopping does have a formal goal, of course: to let fans know about their latest album, Milk Man, due out March 9. Kill Rock Stars will release the CD, with former Deerhoofer Rob Fisk’s Porcupine Free Society handling the vinyl.
