A year after the release of their latest album, Planet of Ice, Seattle's Minus the Bear have announced that they will hit the road for a tour this fall. And they're bringing quite a few friends along with them. Annuals will accompany them the whole way, and various other dates will feature the New Year, Themes, Sylvia, Helms Alee, and 27.

The tour begins October 8 in Spokane, and Minus the Bear's only show before then is an appearance at Seattle's Bumbershoot festival on September 1.
