Secret Machines Hit the Road in February

It's hard to find a band whose name so perfectly matches their persona as the Secret Machines. Way back in October of aught-four, we reported that the shady trio of Texans may or may not be preparing a new LP, a follow-up to 2004's superb Now Here Is Nowhere. Reports were that the band tested out new material on their North American tour with Interpol, but naturally, no details have surfaced since.

What we can officially tell you is that, after a winters worth of touring, the boys are heading back out on their own for at least two more months, including a three-night stint in the Lone Star State and some European dates as well. Now here is somewhere:
