Owen will be heading out on some U.S. dates with Kevin Devine and Manchester Orchestra's Andy Hull.

In between dates, Mr. Mike Kinsella will begin initial tracking with Tim Iseler for the followup to Owen's 2006 full–length, At Home With (Polyvinyl).

Devine recently self–released a tour–only EP in addition to 2006's Put Your Ghost to Rest (Capitol). Hull will presumably be playing a mix of material between Manchester Orchestra and his conceptual solo side project, Right Away, Great Captain!, who digitally released a full–length titled The Bitter End in 2006; his full–time band had their 2006 breakout I'm Like a Virgin Losing a Child (Favorite Gentlemen) recently reissued by Columbia.
