Ted Leo has laid pretty low recently, spending his rare bit of time between tours filling his website's news section with seasonally appropriate political screeds and helping out some buds over at the WFMU radio station.

But Ted and his merry band of Pharmacists will return to the road this spring, starting with a pair of near-St. Patrick's Day dates in Massachusetts with Celtic punks Dropkick Murphys.

Then, in April, they will keep the Irish theme going by starting a tour there in the homeland, before heading off on a two-week trek across Europe.

UPDATE: The final four shows of the tour, all in Spain, have been cancelled.
