The Dears will head to Mexico at the beginning of February for shows in Guadalajara and Mexico City.

The Dears played some of the craziest shows of their lives the last time they visited the country. It seems that all those Latino Morrissey fans are more than happy to show just as much love to Moz's chocolate brother.

The gigs will come two weeks after the band play a benefit show for the Every Kid Choir in their hometown of Montreal.

All the shows are in support of last year's Missiles. The disc is Murray Lightburn (vocals, guitar, keyboards) and Natalia Yanchak's (keyboards, vocals) first with their new lineup, which includes Kill The Lights' Yann Geoffroy (drums, keyboards), Jason Kent (guitar, vocals, keyboards), former Land Of Talk member Christopher McCarron (guitar) and Pony Up's Lisa Smith (bass, keyboards) and Laura Wills (keyboards, vocals).

You can see The Dears here:

Jan. 31 Montreal, QC @ St. James United Church
