Ready, Art Brut? Hope so, 'cause here we come. To your North American tour alongside We Are Scientists and the Spinto Band, that is.

Tonight, the trio of acts will make its way to Carrboro, North Carolina's Cat's Cradle club to kick off the festivities. In late-October, WAS will drop off, leaving Art Brut to make do with the Spinto Band, as well as a few shows with Annuals and Tokyo Police Club.

Come November, Eddie Argos 'n' friends will play a handful of scattered shows on their home continent.

As previously reported, Art Brut recently signed to Mute Records in the UK and are in the process of recording their sophomore LP, tentatively slated for an early 2007 release. According to NME.com, the band has finished up a 7" split with We Are Scientists, with the former group reworking "The Great Escape" and the latter on "Bang Bang Rock & Roll". Keep an eye out for the single swap disc at yr local merch table, because this baby's a tour exclusive.
