The Aliens-- whom we should really start referring to as The Gamma Band-- seem rather fond of letting North America lag a little behind their home planet of, uh, Scotland. Having allowed Astronomy for Dogs room to invade the UK months before it captured the U.S., they're now following a run of UK dates with a couple weeks in the U.S. and Canada. Where will their interplanetary invasion take them next? By the looks of it, perhaps the barbershop.
