RJD2 hit a slight roadblock when his unfortunate middle finger was cut in an in-studio tangle with some scissors (full story on MySpace), but he's not letting one little mishap hold him back-- the show must go on. Shows, that is. Many, many shows.

The sound sculptor has tacked a whole bunch of dates onto his previously reported North American tour. On the trek, he'll perform both as a DJ and, for the first time ever, with a four-piece band.

The tour is in support of RJD2's XL debut, The Third Hand, which, as you well know by now, lands March 6.

Customers who pre-order a copy from select indie record stores will receive a digital bonus EP featuring three previously unavailable tracks.

Those purchasing the record via iTunes can expect a different extra-- a song RJD2 describes as "epic!!!!! nine minutes!!!! four movements!!!!"
