Back in May of 2007, Hot Buttered Rum issued Live in the Northeast, drawn from the group’s fall 2006 dates. Two years after that tour (and some intervening Northeast runs), the Northern California-based quintet will once again travel to the east coast for a series of gigs. The first of these shows will take place on November 7 at Washington DC’s 9:30 Club and from there the band will travel up to New England, with its final area show on November 23 at the Fairfield Theatre in Bridgeport, CT. The tour also will include three shows in support of Dark Star Orchestra at the Lowell Auditorium (11/21), Electric Factory (11/22) and the Fairfield Theatre.

Next up for HBR is two nights this coming weekend in Santa Barbara at SOhO.
