Hey Rosetta! Announce Huge North American Fall Tour

Hey Rosetta! should've called their last album Into Your Lungs (And Around In Your Heart And On Through Your Blood And Onto The Highways Into Every City That Has Ever Existed, Ever).

Hey Rosetta! are hitting the road — and hitting it hard. They've announced a series of concert dates that have me car-sick just looking at them.

The tour covers enough of North America that the St. John's band probably got dual citizenship just for attempting it. Not only will they make their way through this continent, but as we've previously mentioned, their voyage will include three sets at the Canada Pavilion of the Shanghai World Expo in China.

Their last release was 2009's digital Red Song EP, which was available only as a digital download or on old school seven-inch vinyl.

Hey Rosetta! were recently recording the follow-up to 2008's Polaris Music Prize short listed Into Your Lungs (And Around In Your Heart And On Through Your Blood). Given the enormity of this tour, we wouldn't be surprised if they announce details about a new album very, very soon...
