Score another one for the upstarts: Bringing their cumulative full-length album total to a whopping three, Voxtrot will join UK sensation Arctic Monkeys on the latter's previously reported fall tour of the North American continent.

The news came as something of a Favourite Worst Nightmare to Voxtrot, who took to MySpace today to express both delight at the prospect teaming up with the Arctics and dismay at the resulting logistical chaos. Consequentially, Voxtrot have been forced to postpone a handful of their remaining UK dates, as well as a two-week run of West Coast U.S. gigs. The boys assure via MySpace that the bulk of said dates "will be rescheduled before the end of the year." So, with a little patience, everybody wins.

And while you're updating your calendars, might as well make a note that the previously reported UK "Firecracker" single, originally due on August 27 from Beggars/Playlouder, will now come out September 3.
