In the wake of Denver Dalley's full-length debut under the Statistics handle (Leave Your Name, out this week on Jade Tree), the Blue Oyster Cult-- wait, make that Desaparecidos-- side project will be hitting the highway next month to support the album, which follows on the heels of 2003's hard-to-classify self-titled EP.

The month-long jaunt will take D. Dalley and co. all over this great land of ours-- except the northeast. Sorry northeast, you get fucked this time. Maybe you should consider moving to Florida. Engine Down, which features among its ranks former members of Sleepytime Trio, The Weak Link Breaks, and Bughummer, will be making the trip with them. Dates (all with Engine Down):
