DeVotchKa, meet My Brightest Diamond. My Brightest Diamond, DeVotchKa. Now get familiar, because for the next two weeks, you're stuck together with the high-power adhesive known as the North American tour.

Tonight, DeVotchKa start things off sans MBD at Omaha, NE's Sokol Underground. The Brooklyn chanteuse known as Shara Worden and her two-man touring band will come into the picture tomorrow and hang around through December 11.

After the split, Devotchka will play their way across the West Coast with Eric Bachmann and two Denver, Colorodo hometown stints with support from Andrew Bird on New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve Eve.

My Brightest Diamond, on the other hand, will rest up until early February, at which point she'll take her live show to Europe.

As previously reported, on December 5, MBD will release an iTunes-only EP featuring four versions of the Bring Me the Workhorse number "Disappear" and previously unreleased B-side "The Lace Handkerchief".
