I know I likely won't be the straw that breaks the camel's back with this, but seeing them again would be killer.  Saw 'em in JS & Friends in Richmond and NMA in DC, but it's been years.

Good info on the cost and the time investment needed. Hopefully something comes of it.
I always heard it was arduous and costly  :(

Well, if the issue is US visas, perhaps, and this isn't the best option for all of us, but perhaps a tour of Canada would work?  Toronto, Montreal, Windsor, Vancouver, Calgary...  Seems it might be a good compromise to get them back in NA anyway?

Personally I'd prefer another Justin n Dean tour. The 2004 tour was one of the best times I've ever had doing gigs...

Would love to see them back in Chicago as well.  We were spoiled for a while with a few shows in Chicago and nearby, but it's been ages now.  Just trying to tell myself that we really need to visit family in Nottingham for Christmas this year (even though the bank balance, or lack thereof, tells me otherwise).

An NMA American tour sounds fantastic!  :)   
I am in the south-east but would gladly travel anywhere in the U.S. to see them.
Hell, I am even travelling across the Atlantic to see them next week. 

Though an American tour probably be hard and costly for the band.

Just woke up thinking about a possible North American tour!  If the main problem is the cost, could we put together a crowdsourcing appeal on kickstarter or indiegogo?  That way, the NA contingent can put our money where our mouths are, and do our best to ensure that tours here aren't financial sinkholes for the band.  It may also help by way of promotion.  The other thing I was thinking, is put the damn ticket prices up!  Twelve bucks for a NMA show is nothing - there are local bands playing here in Toronto, not fit to wash Dean's underpants, charging three times that and no one bats an eye.

What do people think?

I'm in Nashville, where are you?  Justin brought the Justin and Daves' show to Nashville in 2003 (I think), after my hounding of Tommy.  He did tell me that if I wanted to see the full band, I'd have to travel at least to Chicago.  The S/E just can't support a full band tour.  Was glad to see them in NY for the 30th anni shows.

They toured the U.S. for Today is a Good Day and High (of their recent albums and toured the U.S. for Love of Hopeless Causes and Thunder & Consolation too). So not sure why they wouldn't for this album. The news on the front page says they're doing a full tour, so hopefully that means the U.S. too.

When they scheduled the 30th anniversary shows in the US to get a couple of shows in before their visas from the TIGD tour ran out.  Justin also said that this would likely be the last US shows for a good while as the visas were hard to come by and very expensive.  So, don't assume that it's a given.  But keep hope alive.

Ah, I did not know that. I certainly hope they do come to the U.S. They are fantastic live.

Come over to the UK!!

Despite the recession, flights are still cheap.

There will be plenty of advice here on cheap  accommodation local to the gig for you guys coming over !!
