Disco revivalists Hercules & Love Affair have only done a handful of U.S. shows since the June release of their excellent self-titled debut, but the band is pumping up to do a full U.S. tour beginning in October.

The tour kicks off in San Francisco on October 3 (with the band as support for Rogue Wave (?) and Mos Def (!)) and goes through November 2 in Washington DC (plus a random show in the middle of November in Milan). The nine shows are pretty scattered—mostly taking place on the weekends—but cover some serious ground (the tour hits the west coast, the Midwest, the east coast, and Canada).
