Arctic Monkeys plot return to US
British alt-rockers Arctic Monkeys [ tickets ] will return to the US this spring for a fresh slate of headlining dates in support of their latest studio album, last fall's "Humbug."
The group kicks off the 11-city trek April 1 in Miami, FL, and wraps up the somewhat brief outing two weeks later with an April 15 show in Tempe, AZ. Dates are shown at right.
Arctic Monkeys worked with co-producers James Ford (Klaxons, Last Shadow Puppets) and Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age and Them Crooked Vultures on "Humbug," the band's third studio album and the follow-up to 2007's "Favorite Worst Nightmare."
The video for Arctic Monkeys' latest single, "Cornerstone," is currently streaming at the band's MySpace page. The album's third single and leadoff track, "My Propeller," is due March 23. A 10" version of the cut featuring three additional original songs will be available beginning April 13.
Arctic Monkeys formed in Sheffield, England, in 2003, about one year after singer/guitarist Alex Turner and guitarist Jamie Cook, both teenagers at the time, received their first guitars as Christmas presents. The four-piece rock outfit released its debut album, "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not," in 2006.

All the latest news and festival reports from LiveDaily | Drake maps campus tour ahead of debut album
Rapper/actor Drake [ tickets ] has unveiled dates for a month-long tour of college campuses this spring as he prepares to lift the covers on "Thank Me Later," his debut full-length studio album.
The multi-talented Canadian performer kicks off the trek April 6 in Charleston, IL, with an appearance at Eastern Illinois University. Aside from an April 24 slot at the New Orleans Jazz Fest and a May 24 appearance at New Jersey's Bamboozle Festival, all other currently confirmed dates on the outing will take place on university campuses. Details are shown at right.
Canadian rapper/singer K-OS and New York synth-pop outfit Francis & The Lights will provide opening support on the jaunt, which Drake will present in conjunction with non-profit organization Reverb. The group will help the performer "green" the tour by using biodiesel fuels for transportation and providing biodegradable and recyclable products on the performer's tour bus and backstage areas, along with creating "Eco Villages" at each tour stop to provide public education about environmental issues.
"Thank Me Later," due in stores March 30, features production from Lil Wayne, Kanye West and Birdman, among others, and will be released on Wayne's Young Money label.
Drake--whose full name is Aubrey Drake Graham--began his acting career in 2001 by portraying the character of Jimmy Brooks on the long-running Canadian TV series "Degrassi: The Next Generation." His tenure on the show lasted eight years, ending in 2009 with his character's graduation.
In 2006, the performer began to shape his music career, releasing his first mixtape, "Room For Improvement," through his website and MySpace page. A second tape, "Comeback Season," caught the attention of Lil Wayne, who invited Drake to join him on tour.

All the latest news and festival reports from LiveDaily | Frightened Rabbit plugs 'Winter' on spring trek
Indie rockers Frightened Rabbit [ tickets ] will return to North America this spring to support a new studio album, "The Winter of Mixed Drinks."
The trek kicks off with the band's April 17 slot at the Coachella Music Festival in Indio, CA, before launching the group into headlining mode two nights later (4/19) in Tempe, AZ. The 25-city outing comes to a close May 22 in San Diego. Dates are at right.
"The Winter of Mixed Drinks," the Scottish group's third studio album, is set to surface March 9 in the US.
Vocalist/guitarist Scott Hutchinson recently told indie-music blog The Pop Cop that the new album is "about an escape and maybe even a slight breakdown. I have to say, it's semi-fictional. There's a protagonist who is possibly male but it doesn't really describe my life because if I did that it wouldn't make for an interesting album this time around as I've been quite solid and content, thankfully."
The new set was produced by Peter Katis (Guster, Mercury Rev), who also helmed the band's previous studio effort, 2008's "The Midnight Organ Fight." "Swim Until You Can't See Land," the album's first single, surfaced in November.

All the latest news and festival reports from LiveDaily | Miranda Lambert unleashes 'Roadside Bars & Pink Guitars' run
Country songstress Miranda Lambert [ tickets ] will spend much of the spring and summer on her in-progress "Roadside Bars & Pink Guitars" tour of North America.
The outing, which got underway last week, continues with a Feb. 12 concert in Fort Worth, TX. Her schedule mixes headlining shows with a handful of gigs opening for Brad Paisley, as well as several festival performances slated for summer. In all, the Texas-born performer is currently scheduled to stop by venues in 31 cities through early August. Details are shown at right.
Lambert continues supporting her third studio effort, "Revolution," which surfaced last fall. The set topped Billboard's Top Country Albums chart and landed at No. 8 on The Billboard 200. Two tracks have made it onto radio playlists nationwide: "Dead Flowers" and "White Liar."
For the third time in her career, Lambert received a Grammy nomination, this time in the Best Female Country Performance category for "Dead Flowers."
In May, Lambert will host her third annual "Cause for the Paws" event, which raises money for the Humane Society of East Texas. The Tyler, TX, show will feature Lambert with her full band, as well special guests Nan Kelley, Whiskey Myers and Kacey Musgraves. Tickets for the May 15 event go on sale Wednesday (2/10.)
"I am a huge animal lover and many people know that this all sort of started when I adopted Delilah (my wired haired terrier mix) from the Humane Society of East Texas," Lambert explained in an interview with LiveDaily last summer. "I felt like I was at a place in my life where I could really help out that shelter so I decided to host Cause for the Paws."

All the latest news and festival reports from LiveDaily | Pavement, Modest Mouse top Pitchfork fest bill
Modest Mouse, LCD Soundsystem and a reunited Pavement head the initial lineup unveiled by organizers of the 2010 Pitchfork Music Festival.
The three-day outdoor event, which will take place June 16-18 at Chicago's Union Park, will also feature hip-hop star Raekwon (of the Wu-Tang Clan) and singer/songwriters St. Vincent and Cass McCombs, among others. A complete list of currently confirmed performers is available at the event's website.
Tickets for the festival are currently on sale, with prices ranging from $40 for single-day tickets to $90 for a three-day pass.
Lo-fi progenitors Pavement announced earlier this year that they would reunite for a world tour, including a full slate of European and Far East dates, along with an April 18 slot at Southern California's Coachella Festival. The comeback bid is intended to hold for this year only, and is "not a prelude to additional jaunts and/or a permanent reunion," according to the band's website.
The California group, which debuted with 1992's "Slanted and Enchanted," made its last live appearance in late 1999, formally breaking up the following year. A new 23-track compilation album, "Quarantine The Past: The Best Of Pavement," is due March 9 on the band's longtime label, Matador. The retrospective will be available in CD, double-vinyl LP and digital formats.
Now in its fifth year of existence, the Pitchfork Music Festival began in 2006, drawing an estimated 35,000 fans to Union Park for a two-day event that featured Spoon, Yo La Tengo, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, and The Futureheads.
