The Album Leaf Plan Extensive American Tour

Jimmy LaValle and the Album Leaf are getting ready to embark on a extensive U.S. tour that will take them from one coast to the other...and back, throughout March and much of April. Call it a Spring Break road trip, cause the kids, they love their Album Leaf. Starting off in Long Beach, Calif., LaValle and Co. will also hit the biggest party in town, the annual South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas.

Speaking of Southern California, the Album Leaf have recently had their attention firmly set on the affluent suburb of Orange County...or as the public lexicon would have it, the O.C. Yes, after staying busy last year making music with his Icelandic friends, touring Europe, and promoting his Sub Pop debut, In a Safe Place, LaValle is enjoying more exposure than ever with Album Leaf's inclusion on the Fox series The O.C.. We told you the kids love their Album Leaf. A compilation of music featured on the show (including an Album Leaf track)-- Music From The O.C. Mix 4-- is set for release in April, and the forward momentum continues this spring and summer with the promise of more European dates. For now:
