And the Tournament of Hearts continues. The Constantines are once again gearing up to shoot the moon across North America.

Tonight, the Toronto quintet launch their latest trek at Philly's North Star Bar. They will forge on through early December (note the CARE Canada benefit at Lee's Palace), break for an extended holiday, and pick things up again in late January. Along the way they'll support the Hold Steady and the Tragically Hip, a couple of bands that various populations like to claim are "totally the best band out there right now" (music critics and Canadians, respectively).
