With the March 4 release of Real Emotional Trash a mere month away, Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks are in a giving mood. First, there was their entry into Matador's "Buy Early Get Now" ranks. Now, it's the announcement of even more dates on their upcoming North American tour.

Most of the new dates come in April and May, after the previously reported ones in March and early April with John Vanderslice. Joining Le Malk and co. for the newly added shows will be Portland homeboys the Joggers.

Thanks to reader Scott Diana for the tip.
