The Psychedelic Furs are following up last fall’s co-headlining tour with Tom Tom Club with a short, six-date club tour of the northeast U.S. this March, promising fans can ‘get up close to the band’ as the group kicks off ‘what promises to be a busy 2012’ — which should include soon-to-be-announced U.K. dates.

While neither band has formally announced the trek, The Psychedelic Furs — hot off this summer’s 30th anniversary ‘Talk Talk Talk’ dates — have enlisted New Wave contemporaries Tom Tom Club for what appears to be at least a three-week tour of the United States this fall.

Last night, Talking Heads spinoff Tom Tom Club dropped by ‘Late Night with Jimmy Fallon’ in advance of tonight’s concert at Irving Plaza in New York, a show being billed as something of a 30th anniversary celebration for the band.

It’s a huge new release week, with new albums from Killing Joke and Bad Religion; live albums from Yazoo and Tom Tom Club; reissues from Duran Duran, David Bowie, The Fall and Morrissey; and new compilations from Soundgarden, KMFDM and David Sylvian.

Husband-and-wife team/former Talking Heads rhythm section Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth this week announced they’ll take the Tom Tom Club out on the road for the group’s first ‘lengthy’ North American tour in 10 years this fall in support of the forthcoming album ‘Genius of Live.’
