NOFX plots third leg of US tour for May

Veteran punk rockers NOFX have lined up a third and final leg to their current US tour, a May outing heavy with Pacific Northwest cities.

The California skate-punks, who are celebrating their 25th anniversary, will launch the first leg of their trek Feb. 22 in Orlando, FL. The 21-city tour is split into three segments, with the newly announced shows kicking off May 2 in Denver. Dates are below.

Released in November, "They've Actually Gotten Worse Live" is a 24-track CD and double-vinyl LP that was recorded over three nights of concerts in early 2007 in the band's adopted hometown of San Francisco. The set is the group's second live release, following 1995's "I Heard They Suck Live!!"

NOFX's most recent studio work, 2006's "Wolves in Wolves' Clothing," was produced by Bill Stevenson and Jason Livermore in Colorado Springs, CO.

The 18-song, 30-minute set contains four songs from the band's recent "Seven Inch of the Month Club" series of singles: "Leaving Jesusland," "I'm Going to Hell For This One," "You're Wrong" and "You Lose Your Faith." The latest set from the politically active band, who launched the anti-Bush website Punkvoter.com in 2003, also includes the songs "USA-holes" and "The Marxist Brothers," which singer Fat Mike described in a press release as having "a hip-hop beat with ska/new-wave guitar and a Beatles melody."
