With their new single "Ulysses" coming out December 2 and their kind of ridiculously titled third album, Tonight: Franz Ferdinand, following in January, Franz Ferdinand have decided it's time to throw North America a bone. Thus, the Glasgow quartet will follow a teaser appearance or two with a December tour of our fair continent. These new dates are sandwiched in between a Dutch show and a round of dates Down Under and in the UK.

Tonight: Franz Ferdinand comes out in the UK January 26 via Domino and in the U.S. the next day via Domino USA/Epic.
