The Used plot fall course behind 'Artwork'

With the release of "Artwork" just one week away, alt-rockers The Used have unveiled the venues for their upcoming fall run behind the impending album.

Since last check, the Utah-based quartet has tacked an additional five shows onto the front end of the late-summer/early fall tour, beginning Aug. 31 in Anaheim, CA. A short, three-concert jaunt is slated for early September, followed by the official tour kick-off Oct. 9 in Las Vegas. The club and theater trek runs through a Nov. 14 performance in Portland, OR. Details are included below.

The Almost and Drive A will provide opening support on the outing.

Fans who purchase pre-sale tickets via The Used's website will receive an exclusive B-side track entitled "Something Safe," as well as the uncensored video for "Blood On My Hands."

"Artwork," the band's fourth studio set and the follow-up to 2007's "Lies for the Liars," is due in stores Aug. 31. The record's lead single, "Blood On My Hands," premiered on Apple's iTunes Music Store earlier this month, and racked up more than 5,000 downloads on the day of its release, according to a press release. The track is currently streaming at the group's MySpace page.
