With the release of their debut album right around the corner, hard prog-rockers Fair to Midland are getting ready to support the set with dates in the US and Europe.

Following mainstage performances next month at festivals in Germany and the UK, Fair to Midland will kick off a short record-release tour starting June 12 in the band's hometown of Dallas. On June 19, the rockers will head out with 69 Eyes, Wednesday 13 and Night Kills the Day through mid-July. US dates are listed below and overseas shows can be found at the band's website.

FTM's full-length debut, "Fables from a Mayfly: What I Tell You Three Times is True," is due June 19 on System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian's Serjical Strike label. The record was produced by David Bottrill (Tool, Peter Gabriel) and executive produced by Tankian.

Lead single "Dance of the Manatee" is currently making waves at active rock and alternative radio. That track and a few others from the album are streaming at Fair to Midland's MySpace page.

The Texas quintet's bio describes its music as a "disciplined stream-of-consciousness," fusing "hard rock with art rock, shot through with soaring vocals, virtuoso guitars, allegorical lyrics, a driving rhythm section and richly woven keyboards."
