Funeral For A Friend Announces US Tour

Atlantic recording group FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND has unveiled details of their upcoming new album, Tales Don't Tell Themselves. Produced by the legendary Gil Norton (Pixies, Foo Fighters), the album is the critically acclaimed Welsh rock outfit's third set, following 2003's Casually Dressed and in Deep Conversation and 2005's Hours. Tales Don't Tell Themselves arrives in stores nationwide on May 15.

FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND will herald the album's release with a series of eagerly anticipated North American headline dates. Dubbed "All Hands On Deck," the tour will see the band supported by ALEXISONFIRE, EMANUAL, and FIGHTSTAR, and will kick off on June 12 at the Knitting Factory in New York City. From there the trek will wind its way west, where it will culminate in a June 26 finale at the famed Troubadour in West Hollywood, California.

FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND - which has just wrapped a major European arena tour alongside MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE - will remain in North America through mid-summer, traveling as part of Vans Warped Tour '07.

A video recently debuted on the band's MySpace page for the first single 'Into Oblivion (Reunion)'.
