Canadian punk-pop outfit Sum 41 [ tickets ] will brave the cold weather of its homeland during an early 2005 tour of the country.

The month-long trek gets underway in Montreal on Jan. 14, and stops are planned throughout Canada. Details are shown in the itinerary below.

Dubbed the "Go Chuck Yourself" tour, the outing supports "Chuck," Sum 41's follow-up to 2002's "Does This Look Infected?" Released in October, the new album is named for Chuck Pelletier, a United Nations representative who, in May, helped to evacuate the group from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it was shooting a documentary about that country's longstanding civil war.

The band arrived during a time of cease-fire, but violence broke out while they were in the country.

"Everything from mortar rounds to rocket-propelled grenades and shotguns were going off as close as 40 meters from our hotel," the group wrote in a detailed account of the experience posted at its website. "Things got so bad that at one point we were all told by Chuck to get in our room shut off the lights and stay quiet and stay down. It was then that I knew things could get bad."

Pelletier eventually ushered the band members to safety, and they were ultimately evacuated by plane.

Video footage from the documentary, titled "War Child," is streaming at Sum 41's website. (Free registration is required to view it.)
