The Bravery finish new album, plot fall tour

Alt-rockers The Bravery have emerged from the recording studio with a brand new album in their hands and a slate of fall headlining dates.

The New Yorkers will launch the 33-city run Sept. 18 in Las Vegas. The tour bridges October and ends in mid-November with a series of West Coast dates, capped with a Nov. 11 show in Vancouver, British Columbia. Details are shown below.

The band recently put the finishing touches on its third studio album. The still-untitled set, which was produced by John Hill (Santigold, M.I.A.), is currently slated for a November release. The album's lead single, "Slow Poison," is due Sept. 15.

The new record follows 2007's "The Sun and the Moon," which boasted production by Brendan O'Brien (Pearl Jam, Bob Dylan). The band worked on that record with O'Brien in his Atlanta studio, as well as "various apartments scattered around New York City," according to a posting on the group's website.

"The Sun and the Moon" debuted at No. 24 on The Billboard 200 album chart, moving about 22,000 copies during its first week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Bravery co-founders Sam Endicott and John Conway recently wrote three songs for Shakira's forthcoming new album, "She Wolf," including the title song, which is also the set's lead single.
