The L.A.-based workhorses, who spent their month "off" writing and tracking new songs, are using this opportunity to road-test their latest creations, including performances alongside Spoon as well as Akron/Family, among others.

Immediately following, the quintet will rejoin Young for a handful of Canadian and U.S. dates in April, which will culminate with a performance at Jazz Fest in New Orleans May 2. The additional U.S. shows will be announced soon.
