Pitchfork: Trail of Dead Plan Extensive U.S. Tour

Earlier this year, ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead opened a new frontier in their quest for a theory of anthropological unity with the release of Worlds Apart, or, as we like to subtitle it, "An Investigation Into the Semiotics and Cross-Cultural Dynamics Complicit in People Buying Your Album Even Though It Kind of Sucks". Austin's finest are supporting the album with a month of shows starting at the end of March and circling the central and eastern thirds of your favorite continent and ours, North America. The specifics:

03-30 Houston, TX - Engine Room
03-31 New Orleans, LA - House of Blues
04-01 Atlanta, GA - Variety Playhouse
04-02 Orlando, FL - Tabu
04-03 Tampa, FL - State Theatre
04-04 Gainesville, FL - Common Grounds
04-06 Chapel Hill, NC - Cat's Cradle
04-07 Washington, DC - Black Cat
04-08 Philadelphia, PA - Theatre of the Living Arts
04-09 New York, NY - Irving Plaza
04-10 New York, NY - Irving Plaza

04-20 Detroit, MI - Majestic
04-21 Champaign, IL - Canopy Club
04-22 Chicago, IL - Metro
04-25 Minneapolis, MN - First Ave.
04-26 Omaha, NE - Sokol Auditorium
04-27 Lawrence, KS - Granada Theatre
04-28 St. Louis, MO - Mississippi Nights
04-29 Dallas, TX - Gypsy Ballroom
04-30 Austin, TX - Emo's

No additional singles from Worlds Apart have been announced, which is a shame, because...well, last summer, we heard rumors of a song, perhaps now relegated to B-side status, called "The Five Penises In Dwarfland" and frankly, we feel we have been denied access to Dwarfland for far too long.
