With the launch of their debut studio effort, The Spirit of Apollo, a little more than a month away (February 17th via ANTI-) the gentlemen of the fine DJ outfit better known as N.A.S.A. are currently making all the necessary preparations. Among them is the announcement of Squeak E. Clean and DJ Zegon’s first rather extensive North American tour.

Following a trip across Europe, N.A.S.A. will embark on a 13-date North American trek beginning in late February. Currently, the tour takes the DJ duo on the road until mid-March, but considering the fact that Zegon has already independently confirmed his appearance at the 2009 edition of South by Southwest and a slot at Coachella is also heavily rumored, we should be seeing a lot of the DJ duo is the coming future.

Ahead of The Spirit of Apollo and touring, N.A.S.A. has released the album’s guest-heavy first single, “Money” on iTunes. The track, which features David Byrne and Z-Trip among others, is being packaged with a remix by the The Count of Monte Cristal and the recently released music video.
