Supergrass fires up North American tour
Britpop outfit Supergrass will head across the pond early next year for a North American tour that backs its recently released album, "Road to Rouen."
The quartet launches the run Feb. 6 in Toronto, and works its way from the East Coast to the West Coast before wrapping up Feb. 26 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Details are included below.
Released in late September, "Road to Rouen" is Supergrass' fifth album, and follows 2002's "Life on Other Planets."
"We've had some trying times over the last couple of years," frontman Gaz Coombes said in a statement. "And it changes the way you do things. It changed the way I wrote songs."
"Road to Rouen" is streaming in its entirety at the album's official website.
