Steely Dan extends 'Rent Party' into late November

Steely Dan has added new dates to the fall North American leg of its "Rent Party 09" tour, which will find the veteran duo performing a pair of its classic albums in full on the road.

The duo kicks off the outing Oct. 12 in Seattle. New dates have been added in November, extending the trek to 19 cities, with the jaunt concluding Nov. 25-26 in Toronto. Dates are below.

On the road, the band will continue its "Classic Album (Plus)" format, which will feature Walter Becker and Donald Fagen performing one of the band's albums in its entirety each night, with some shows devoted to fan requests sent via the Internet. The schedule below lists each night's featured content. The duo's Oct. 16 and 17 dates in Southern California will feature material from throughout the group's career.

The fall shows, along with the band's earlier summer trek, mark the fourth consecutive year that the pair has toured after avoiding consistent roadwork for several years. "Everything Must Go," the duo's most recent release, which surfaced in 2003, followed their first studio album in 20 years, 2000's "Two Against Nature." That record not only received double-platinum certification, but also won a Grammy Award for Album of the Year.

Though the pair was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001 for their work with Steely Dan, they also have successful solo careers. Becker released his second solo album, "Circus Money," last summer, while Fagen most recently released 2007's "The Nightfly Trilogy," a boxed set featuring his three solo albums: "The Nightfly," "Kamakiriad" and "Morph the Cat."
