Thanks to Elf Power's MySpace page we have some more Back to the Web spring tour dates for you, and now through an announcement on Derek Almstead's MySpace we know they'll be touring with The Instruments, whose Cast a Half Shadow will be released in May. Elf Power writes on their MySpace blog, "More shows have been confirmed and there are still a few more to go! We wanted to try and get across the whole country before we leave for Europe on May 19, so we realize that we are skipping over many cities that we would love to play. We are planning to do a much more thorough tour in late summer/early fall." As it is, here's how things stand now:
