Attention citizens of the West Coast: turns out Menomena didn't forget you guys. After skipping out on its Califoregonington friends last time around, the Portland trio is taking its live show to five star cities to your left (or right, if you buy into that whole the-world-is-round thing), and they're bringing local buds 31Knots along for the ride.

Tonight, the fellas kick things off in their hometown. They'll wrap the tour up come mid-December with two gigs alongside Pink Mountaintops.

As previously reported, Friend and Foe, Menomena's debut full length for Barsuk, is due January 23, 2007.

Dates:

11-30 Portland, OR - Disjecta
12-02 Seattle, WA - Paradox
12-08 San Francisco, CA - Hemlock Tavern
12-09 Los Angeles, CA - Spaceland *
12-10 San Diego, CA - Casbah *

* with Pink Mountaintops
