Avail will be taking Lucero out on tour of the US south east. The dates are coming together now, so check back with the band's website for the dates soon. The tour will begin in late February and will include 9 or 10 shows.

In the meantime the band is working on their followup to 2002's Front Porch Stories. They report:

We've been writing like mad this winter. We now finally have a good handful of songs worth keeping that need further work. We will continue to work them out for a little while and then take them to Minimum Wage Studio here in Oregon Hill (in Richmond) to demo. A demo will give us a good idea of what needs to be done to get a full record out. Hopefully we can have it in the stores by mid-year.
