Recording artists Looner announced dates today for their 2009 U.S. “I Love My Tamagotchee!” tour. The outing kicks off in Portland, OR on August 31st, with a pre-kickoff show headlining the Venice Beach Music Fest on August 8th.

In addition to fan favorites, Looner will debut new material from their upcoming EP (scheduled for Winter 2009/2010 release). The EP was produced by Ziggy Marley and includes a Ziggy-requested cover of the Bob Marley classic “Concrete Jungle.”

Also available to “Tamagotchee!” tour-goers will be custom merchandise in the form of one-of-a-kind pillows handmade by Looner Girl herself, Zoë. Zoë’s pillow-making prowess will also be featured in the October/November 2009 issue of ReadyMade Magazine.
