Jimmy Eat World works on new album, maps 2009 shows
Alt-rockers Jimmy Eat World get out of the studio--where they continue to work on a follow-up to last year's "Chase This Light"--and onto the road early next year.
The Arizona-based group kicks off the tour Feb. 23 in New York, the 10-city outing continuing through early March with a slate of Western US shows, and winding down March 7 close to home in Mesa, AZ. Dates are below.
Jimmy Eat World continues to support last year's "Chase This Light," its first full-length studio set since 2004's gold-certified "Futures." The record, which was produced by alt-rock studio vet Butch Vig (Nirvana, Sonic Youth), debuted at No. 5 on The Billboard 200 album chart following its release last October.
The group, which has issued its last three studio albums in three-year intervals, is currently working on a follow-up to "Chase This Light."
"We're kind of feeling like we have a lot of ideas brewed up and we're going to get cracking on some new music," bassist Rick Burch told Gigwise.com in June. "Actually we have our own home studio that we recorded 'Chase this Light' in. So it's really convenient," he added. The band has been posting updates from the studio throughout the year on its Twitter page.
Earlier this year, the band released a new two-disc deluxe edition of 2001's "Bleed American." The re-release features a bonus disc that collects various b-sides and unreleased tracks, as well as "Your House 2007," a re-recording and "re-imagining" of the album's title track, according to a press release.
