The Breeders announce more U.S. tour dates

Now, dear readers, we have more exciting news straight from the horse's mouth. The Breeders have just announced, via their MySpace blog, that they have finalized the United States leg of their tour, kicking it off with their Coachella appearance and crisscrossing the country for the next two months or so. The band's core duo, Kim and Kelley Deal, will be in attendance, along with whatever backing line-up the sisters have decided upon that week.

Also appearing this spring will be the first new Breeders album since 2002 (which, frighteningly enough, was six long years ago as well). Entitled Mountain Battles, the LP is set to drop in our fair continent on April 8.
