Fiona Apple, who last toured the US while opening for Coldplay, will get top billing during a summer roadtrip as she continues to back last year's "Extraordinary Machine."
After playing a trio of early May warm-up dates, Apple will tackle a busy itinerary that begins in late June and stretches into mid-August. So far, stops are planned in more than 30 cities. Details are included below.
Prior to its release last October, "Extraordinary Machine," Apple's third studio set, was the subject of some controversy. The original version of the album, which Apple recorded with producer Jon Brion, was allegedly rejected by Epic Records back in 2003. Some of the cuts were eventually leaked on the Internet, and a grassroots movement spearheaded by a fan-run website dubbed FreeFiona.com was launched to push for the album's release.Despite the campaign, Apple reportedly wasn't entirely happy with the original version of the disc, and quietly re-worked much of it with producers Mike Elizondo and Brian Kehew before releasing it last year.
In January, the Recording Industry Association of America certified "Extraordinary Machine" gold, signifying US shipment of 500,000 copies.
"Extraordinary Machine" features the cuts "O' Sailor" and "Not About Love," the music videos for both of which are streaming online.
