Grandaddy, Saves the Day ready for extensive U.S. tour

Central California's Grandaddy [ tickets ] is set for another lengthy round of tour dates, this time co-headlining a North American outing with fellow alt-rockers Saves the Day [ tickets ].

Grandaddy continues to support its 2003 release, "Sumday," which debuted at No. 84 on The Billboard 200 album chart in June. The album is the follow-up to the band's critically lauded 2000 album, "Sophtware Slump."

"Sumday" was pieced together over more than two years in a house that frontman Jason Lytle bought to fulfill "a creepy dream to get a normal house in a suburban neighborhood, that's completely sound-proofed inside and everything is dedicated to studio equipment."

New Jersey pop-rock outfit Saves the Day is backing its fourth album, last year's "In Reverie," which is the group's first set for DreamWorks Records. The album peaked last year at No. 27 on The Billboard 200 chart.

The quartet began recording "In Reverie"--the follow-up to 2001's "Stay What You Are"--in Los Angeles last January and wrapped things up at the end of April.

Also on board for the tour is The Fire Theft, a group that features three former members of Sunny Day Real Estate.
