Nine Inch Nails will be adding a few shows in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles starting Aug. 22. The band had previously announced the tour that ended in June with Jane’s Addiction would be its last in the U.S.

On its website, NIN frontman Trent Reznor wrote the new dates ” … will be informal affairs in medium to small venues with longer set-lists, possible special guests, cool openers and other surprises. Upon reflection, the NIN/JA tour felt like we had to rush through sets due to a limited allotted set length and many shows were in daylight – it just didn’t feel right to end NIN that way. An offer to headline a festival (being announced soon) set the idea in motion to play some FUN shows to end this up with. If we can get it together we’ll film these shows, too.”

Living Colour is releasing its first studio album in five years with the band’s original lineup. “The Chair In The Doorway” will be released on Sept. 15 on Megaforce records, according to the band’s MySpace page. Living Colour is perhaps best known by their 1988 hit “Cult Of Personality,” the fact that they have a “u” in their name, and by being confused with the FOX sketch show “In Living Color.”
