World Tour announced, U.K. “Happiness is Overrated” EP and Video out this week…

June 10, 2009

Good evening,

It’s unseasonably cool in L.A. at the moment (temperature-wise), so it doesn’t feel like summer has kicked in quite yet. We’ll be sure to let you know when it does so you can start wearing tank tops.. In the meantime, there’s tons of stuff to announce.

First off, our Happiness is Overrated EP is out in the U.K. this week, along with our accompanying video for the song:

It was directed and edited by our friend Jon Danovic and is comprised entirely of tour and performance footage taken on the road from Pomona and Santa Barbara to Canada and the U.K. and everywhere in between. Maybe you can spot Daren eating a sandwich on the hood of a cop car in Seattle..

We’re also extremely excited to announce our World Tour, which begins in July and spans four continents. It includes our first-ever shows in Japan, South Korea, Switzerland, and Australia. In addition to these dates, we’ve got a full Australian and New Zealand tour that we’ll announce soon, as well as additional shows in mainland Europe. We’re also planning a very special and unique Los Angeles show in December.. More on that later.

There will be more shows in some major U.S. cities that we’ll announce later, so if there seems to be a major oversight of your city, keep in mind that a few more dates will be added.

Tickets for the North American leg of the tour don’t go on sale for the public until June 22, but a limited number of pre-sale tickets will be available starting tomorrow morning at 10:00 a.m. You can buy them HERE.

Tickets for the Fall European tour dates go on sale this Friday. (See below for links.)

    I was so gutted when i couldnt make your previous gigs due to exams etc. but its going to be so great, Glasgow here i come! I cant believe what a truley great band The Airborne toxic event is, i mean iv studied music for years and it has to be said, the true intelligence in both their songwriting and lyrics is just phenomenal

    What the?!?!? Where’s the Ottawa, Canada stop??? I was so disapointed when you guys had to cancel earlier this year, I was so sure you’d be back. I saw you guys in Coachella and have been hyping everyone up here in Ottawa for your return.

    I know it says more dates to be added, however it looks like a pretty tight sched as it is. In case it’s still free, I think you guys should kick off the tour in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada at the OOTTAWA BLUESFEST running from July 8-19. (Ignore the name…the acts are as varied as Coachella itself)

    Hope to see you guys soon!!!
