New US/Canada Tour! Final Fantasy! Albert Hammond Jr!

Following on from the sneak preview a couple days ago, Bloc Party have announced a tour of the US and Canada for March, including a stop at SXSW. They're also bringing along a veritable slew of friends to support them, including The Strokes' Albert Hammond Jr., violin-looping genius Final Fantasy, The Like, Sebastien Grainger (formerly of Death From Above 1979) and tweenagers Smoosh. Let's hope they're better company than Panic! At The Disco.

11.03.07 Seattle, WA - Paramount Theatre
12.03.07 Vancouver, British Columbia - Orpheum Theatre
13.03.07 Portland, OR - Crystal Ballroom
15.03.07 Austin, TX - SXSW
