In anticipation of the Goo Goo Dolls’ upcoming studio album, "Something For The Rest Of Us," the alternative band is hitting venues across the U.S. this April with its first shows of 2010.

The tour kicks off April 6 at The First Tee Of Augusta in Augusta, Ga., with dates on the books through a May 5 gig at Louisville Palace Theatre in Louisville, Ky.

Additional stops include SUNY/Oswego in Oswego, N.Y. (April 10), Hershey Theatre in Hershey, Pa. (April 13), NorVa in Norfolk, Va. (April 21), Hard Rock Café / Hard Rock Live in Orlando, Fla. (April 27) and Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tenn. (May 2).

The Goo Goo Dolls are keeping busy wrapping up work on the new album and prepping for the tour. Fans can check out tour rehearsals through exclusive videos posted to the band’s official online club, The Inner Machine.

Inner Machine members can also take part in a pre-sale for the band’s April 8 gig at Trask Coliseum in Wilmington, N.C. beginning today. There’s also a fan club and student on-sale to the April 10 Oswego, N.Y. show on Monday at 3 p.m. local time. More on-sale dates are coming up on Feb. 26, March 1 and March 5.

A one-year subscription to the Inner Machine will set you back $30. Members can register for meet and greet opportunities at upcoming concerts, get access to the band’s blog and submit questions to the Goo Goo Dolls monthly question and answer session (answers will only be available to members). Members can also join in on official Good Goo Dolls Inner Machine forums and chat rooms as well as access exclusive photo galleries, video clips and audio clips sent in by band members.

Something For The Rest Of Us is the band’s ninth studio album and is expected to be released in late spring.
