Japan's Polysics have announced plans to return to the US in March. The dates come in support of the band's recent Tofu Records release, Now is the Time . The North American and European releases each include bonus tracks not available on the version released in Japan.

The band worked with producer Alex Newport one most of the album, but also managed to get Andy Gill of legendary Gang of Four to produce several tracks on the new album in London. The Japanese outfit is also supporting Polysics or Die!, their 2005 release.
