Eisley to kick off North American tour April 1

Eisley, Tyler, Texas' break-out pop sensation, is heading out on the road behind its 2007 sophomore LP, Combinations. Recently, the DuPree family (and Co.) performed at Sundance, and now seems pretty psyched about the upcoming road trip.

"I am completely excited about going on tour next month to see all of you babers," vocalist/guitarist Sherri DuPree gushes on their website's journal page. "It's gonna be really fun, and we're all going to get new scenester haircuts and stovepipe jeans so we look like real rockstars for all of you."

She goes on to add that the band has been writing new material, none of which will be performed at the upcoming shows. Guess fans will have to be satisfied with the haircuts. Combinations was the follow-up to 2005's Room Noises (both on Warner/Reprise) and a pair of 2003 EPs.
