With their new album Breach in its first week in stores, the Wallflowers have announced nine dates of a West Coast tour. A spokesperson for the group could not reveal yet whether or not further dates would be added, but this initial run might be the first leg of a national tour. Roots-rapper Everlast, whose new album, Eat at Whitey's, comes out next week, will open for Jakob Dylan and Co. The Wallflowers just finished an opening gig themselves, having warmed up the stage for the Who at the veteran rock band's four-night run at New York's Madison Square Garden.
