Dates have been announced for a short tour this May featuring Matt Skiba and Chuck Ragan. The two frontmen will be hitting five stops in California.

This isn't their first collaboration together, as both their bands - Alkaline Trio and Hot Water Music - previously released an acclaimed Split release together.

Chuck is gearing up for the release of his debut solo album, a live record titled Loz Feliz which is due out May 08, 2007. Matt's band continue to work on their forthcoming full length for an as-yet unnamed label. His bandmates have been busy as well, with bassist Dan Andriano working with Ben Weasel and drummer Derek Grant working on an unnamed solo outing.
