Funeral For A Friend Expand American Tour

05th May 2007 | by Gavin Riley

Welsh band Funeral For A Friend are currently delighting New York crowds as part of the 'Bamboozle' Festival,

Set to release their third studio album next week - 'Tales Don't Tell Themselves', the band will also herald the release of the album stateside, by playing a series of headline dates.

They'll play the 'All Hands On Deck' tour, supported by Alexisonfire, Emanual, ~~Boyzone, Westlife, Busted ooh that's it~~ and Fightstar. The tour kicks off at the Knitting Factory (no really that is true) in New York before heading off west, culminating in the closing show at California's Troubadour.

Then adding to a heckuva schedule, they'll stick around throughout the summer, playing the Vans Warped Tour.

Before setting off for America, the boys still have dates to fulfil in England and Ireland, including a few signing sessions at HMV Stores. The LP produced by the legendary Gil Norton (of Pixies and Foo Fighters fame) arrives in stores nationwide on the 14th, and in America the day after.
