San Diego, CA-based garage rock band Louis XIV has booked a North American headline tour starting March 4 in Tucson, AZ and concluding March 19 in Toronto, ON. The dates will celebrate the release of the band’s second album, “Slick Dogs and Ponies,” which arrives online and in stores on Jan. 29 via Pineapple/Atlantic Records.

Atlantic labelmates Carolina Liar will be joining Louis XIV as the tour opener previewing its forthcoming debut album, expected out later this year. Details for the second leg of the headlining trek will be announced in early February.

Louis XIV is currently in the midst of a major North American tour alongside Editors and Hot Hot Heat with dates running through a Valentine’s Day finale at Las Vegas’ House of Blues on February 14. ”

Louis XIV spent much of 2005 and 2006 on the road, knocking out audiences in North America, Europe and Asia as headliners, festival show-stealers, and special guests to such like-minded outfits as Hot Hot Heat and The Killers. The band capped off its endless tour in mid-2006 by sharing the stage with David Bowie and Alicia Keys at the Keep A Child Alive Foundation’s annual “Black Ball” fundraising concert at New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom.
