As you might expect with a new album, The Men are gearing up for touring duty. After a set of dates down under, they boys will be back in North America, and will hit Bowery Ballroom on March 7 for a record release party. Tickets go on sale Friday (1/11) at noon.

All tour dates, which include a stop in Austin for Chaos in Tejas, are listed below, along with that new song stream.

what happened to the bald pedophile looking dude?

^^^ he gave up and is doing something incredibly lame like music PR now.

speaking of lame, here's another incredibly average tune from this band. stop mistaking LOUD (guitars / drums) for good songwriting! i can't remember the melody or any part of this tune five minutes after hearing this.

Paul Westerberg was a career wannabe.

Enough said.
