Thursday, The Fever and Little Yellow Box

Thursday announced today their new album, "A City By The Light Divided" will be released on May 2nd. Here is the press release from Island Records:

THURSDAY TO RELEASE A CITY BY THE LIGHT DIVIDED MAY 2ND, FOLLOW-UP TO TOP 10 WAR ALL THE TIME

PRODUCED BY DAVE FRIDMANN – FIRST SINGLE IS “COUNTING 5-4-3-2-1”
“Thursday Presents The Shirts For A Cure Tour” – With Minus The Bear, The Number 12 Looks Like You , MewithoutYou, and We're All Broken – set to open March 14th; Thursday also tapped for Canada dates on “Taste Of Chaos Tour”

(January 31, 2006 – New York, NY) Island recording group Thursday is completing its second album for the label, A CITY BY THE LIGHT DIVIDED, delivering on the promise of their critically acclaimed top 10 major label debut of 2003, War All the Time. The new album was produced at Tarbox Studios in Fredonia, New York by Dave Fridmann (known for his work with Flaming Lips, Mogwai and Sleater-Kinney) and will be preceded by the release of its first single pick, “Counting 5-4-3-2-1.”

In conjunction with the new album release, the “Thursday presents the Shirts For A Cure Tour” – in which the band will be joined by Minus The Bear, The Number 12 Looks Like You, mewithoutYou and We're All Broken on the tour to benefit the Shirts For A Cure charity (which supports breast cancer research by selling t-Shirts aligned with all sorts of bands) – will open March 14th at The Door in Dallas. After Thursday’s 2-day sidetrip (March 17-18th ) to the South By Southwest (SXSW) conference in Austin, they will rejoin the tour on March 20th (Memphis) through April 1st (Seattle). For further information go to www.shirtsforacure.com

Pre-sale tickets for the “Shirts For A Cure Tour” have already begun to sell out on http://tix.artistarena.com/thursday/, the recommended website for Thursday fans and mypsace.com subscribers.

New Jersey’s own Thursday – lead singer Geoff Rickly, guitarists Steve Pedulla and Tom Keeley, bassist Tim Payne, keyboardist Andrew Everding and drummer Tucker Rule – have built a loyal grassroots following on tour and over the Internet since the release of their album debut in 2000, Waiting (on the indie Eyeball imprint). Constant roadwork in support of their next album for Chicago’s Victory label (Full Collapse in 2001) brought Thursday to Island in 2002. As the band joined the Vans Warped Tour, War All the Time followed in September 2003, peaking at #7 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart, on the strength of its top 30 Modern Rock Track and video, “Signals Over the Air.”
