Veteran L.A. punkers Social Distortion [ tickets ] have added a flood of new concert dates to their current tour, which began in mid-September.

The latest round of appearances will keep the group on the road at least until early January of next year as it continues to support last year's "Sex, Love and Rock'n'Roll" album. An Oct. 30 appearance at the Voodoo Festival in New Orleans has been canceled in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and replaced with a date the same night in Houston.

The band has also added two new shows to its stand at New York's Nokia Theatre, bringing that run to a four-night engagement, beginning Oct. 1. The updated schedule also features a six-show run in Los Angeles, five-night runs in San Francisco and Anaheim, CA, and four consecutive nights in Denver.

Released last September, "Sex, Love and Rock'n'Roll" is Social D's first album of new material since 1996's "White Light, White Heat, White Trash," and is also the group's first recording without guitarist Dennis Danell, who died of a brain aneurysm in 2000. Taking over for Danell is Jonny Wickersham.

Also new to the lineup since "White Light, White Heat, White Trash" surfaced is drummer Charlie Quintana, who replaced Chuck Biscuits in 2000.

Founding member Mike Ness still fronts the band.

Bassist John Maurer, who was with Social Distortion for 20 years, recorded "Sex, Love and Rock'n'Roll" with the group, but has since bowed out. Bassist Brent Harding, who toured with Ness during the singer's 1999 solo outing, rounds out the lineup.
