The group which is an offshoot of the popular group, At The Drive In, is currently on tour in Europe and will return to the North American road in October.
While out on tour this summer, they racked up critical and fan praise for their proggy- jam sessions that included extended jams on the album tracks (one clocked in at an average of 35 minutes) and John Bonham like drum solos.
They will be joined on the trek by Saul Williams.
