It figures that only a mature adult like Nick Cave would have the foresight to schedule his North American tour five months in advance. No disorganization for him, thanks. Leave that to the kids.

Thus, as Cave and his Bad Seeds traverse Europe through early June in support of the howlin' new Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!, the band has announced three weeks of North American shows to take place this fall.

Mute will release "More News From Nowhere", the next single from Lazarus, in the UK on May 12. It will be backed by the non-LP song "Fleeting Love".

Due in June is a tiny (four inch square!) book chronicling the creation of the song "Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!" as well as the light sculpture artists Sue Webster and Tim Noble crafted for the album's cover art. The book comes with a 3" CD containing the song.

Even though he's been busy with the Bad Seeds lately, Cave hasn't forgotten about his other band, Grinderman. They've lined up a bunch of summer festival shows as well.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' next show in tonight (April 29) in Paris, and just in case you needed reminding, dude is crazy (in a good way).
