James LaValle released his fourth full-length as the Album Leaf, Into the Blue Again, a few weeks ago, and now he's heading into the blue of touring again. He'll be joined by the Lymbyc Systym for most of the dates, with NYC up-and-comers Dirty on Purpose also on the bill for a good deal of the shows on the back end.

And if you have an Album Leaf tattoo, you can get into any show for free! Didn't Rocket From the Crypt do something like that? And isn't the Album Leaf kind of an odd choice of a band to get tattooed on your body?

Dirty on Purpose released their debut LP, Hallelujah Sirens, in June, and they also have a handful of tour dates on their own, including a Brooklyn show tonight with Serena Maneesh.
