It hits NYC on June 1 at Town Hall. Tickets for that show should be on sale soon. All dates are listed below. Michael Nesmith, who did contribute to the new album, stopped touring with them last year.

As mentioned, their new album will feature songwriting from Rivers Cuomo, Ben Gibbard, XTC’s Andy Partridge, Rogue Wave’s Zach Schwartz, and Fountains of Wayne’s Adam Schlesinger, who also produced it.
