Indie rock survival story Nada Surf will definitely be alive and kicking in the next few months. The band kicks off a U.S. tour tomorrow (October 13) in Philadelphia. And there's now a set date for the band's next album. It's entitled Lucky, and will land February 5 via Barsuk. As we told you about back here, the album is chock full of elite indie guests including Ben Gibbard, John Roderick of the Long Winters, Ed Harcourt, and Phil Wandscher, who plays guitar for Jesse Sykes' Sweet Hereafter. A new song from the album, "See These Bones," can be heard at the band's MySpace. With this flurry of activity, one might even say the band is quite...popular. Rim shot! Groan.
