Perfectly timed with the North American release of their new album, Do You Like Rock Music? (Why yes, in fact, I do; thanks for asking), British Sea Power have announced an extension of their previously reported North American tour. After all, it's hard to convert the masses to the power of rock when you don't go anywhere. Just ask your local bar band.

The UK foursome's new dates mean they now have a full schedule up until the end of May, and as they cross the North American terrain, they'll team up with the Rosebuds, Colourmusic, and the 1900s on various dates. More immediately, the band will continue its European invasion with a February 15 show in Brussels. Fans in Frankfurt, Germany take note: BSP have canceled a February 19 gig at Cooky's.
