Blackmarket has announced they will be hitting the road once more with UK’s The Subways — this time in Germany. The tour kicks off November 4th in Saarbrücken at the Roxy, and wraps up on November 20 at Skaters Palace in Munster.

“The Subways are good people,” says Blackmarket frontman Darryl Lamont. “We’ve played with them before and got along great. We’re all looking forward to go to Germany with them.”

The Germany tour dates with The Subways are as follows:

11.04.08 Saarbrücken @ Roxy
11.05.08 Frankfurt @ Batschkapp
11.06.08 Cologne @ LMH
11.08.08 Bremen @ Schlachthof
11.09.08 Hamburg @ Markthalle
11.11.08 Berlin @ Kesselhaus
11.12.08 Leipzig @ Conne Island
11.13.08 Munich @ Backstage Werk
11.15.08 Zurich @ Rohstofflager
11.16.08 Vienna @ Flex
11.18.08 Stuttgart @ Stuggart
11.19.08 Bochum @ Zeche
11.20.08 Munster @ Skaters Palace

Who would think that a band from a small town in Arizona would get so much attention internationally? Lake Havasu City’s Blackmarket is about to embark on a tour of Germany, fresh off a huge sold-out performance at Japan’s FujiRock festival in July. Not a bad resume for a bunch of guys who’ve been playing together since junior high school.

For their latest full length album, The Elephant In the Room, they tapped the experienced team of Sean Slade (Radiohead, Dinosaur Jr., Hole) and Matthew Ellard (Morphine, Weezer, Elliott Smith) to produce the album. Slade and Ellard also produced Blackmarket’s self-titled EP which was dubbed “surprisingly compelling, one relentless riff to another” by Performing Songwriter.

The Elephant In The Room will be released November 11, 2008 on No Office Records:
