Bernard Sumner’s Bad Lieutenant playing Chicago, New York; full U.S. tour in 2010

Bad Lieutenant

Bad Lieutenant, Bernard Sumner’s just-launched New Order spinoff, will make it U.S. debut this fall with headlining concerts in New York and Chicago — in addition to a slot opening for the Pixies in the Big Apple — as it plans a full North American tour for 2010.

The band — Sumner, late-era New Order guitarist Phil Cunningham and singer-guitarist Jake Evans, plus New Order drummer Stephen Morris and bassist Tom Chapman — today announced it will play Park West in Chicago on Nov. 18 and Webster Hall in New York City on Nov. 21. Bad Lieutenant’s publicist also confirms the group will open for one of the Pixies’ four New York concerts in late November, but didn’t say which one.

Tickets go on sale noon Friday for the New York concert and 10 a.m. Saturday for the Chicago show, both through Ticketmaster.

Bad Lieutenant last week released its debut, Never Cry Another Tear, digitally through Amazon.com; the CD will be sold exclusively through Amazon beginning Tuesday, then will be available at all other outlets beginning Nov. 10.
