The Presets map spring headlining tour

Indie electronic duo The Presets will take another lap around North America next spring as they continue to support this year's "Apocalypso."

The Australian dance punk duo--Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes--kicks things off March 27 in Tallahassee, FL, the first of 20 cities the pair will hit during the month-long outing. Dates are below.

The Presets are touring behind April's "Apocalypso," the follow-up to their 2005 debut, "Beams." The new album, which debuted at No. 1 on the Australian charts, has spawned three singles so far: "My People," "This Boy's in Love" and "Talk Like That".

"It's always been just us," Hamilton recently told Rave Magazine of the album's production. "Way back when we first signed to Modular, there was talk of us working with some big overseas producers, whoever the flavor of the month guys were back then, but we really wanted to forge our own production identity and our own sound."

In October, the band won three ARIA awards (the Australian version of the Grammy Awards) for Best Dance Release, Best Group, and Album of the Year. They became the first electronic act to receive Album of the Year honors from the Australian Recording Industry Association, which hands out the awards.
