Michael Cera to go on European tour with musician Alden Penner

NEW YORK, April 28 (UPI) -- Actor Michael Cera will go on tour with musician Alden Penner this summer, bass guitar in-hand.

The 26-year-old Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World star partnered with Alden Penner of The Unicorns to launch a new EP entitled Canada in Space which debuts June 29.

Cera isn't new to music; he released his very own digital album, True That, last year via Bandcamp.

Penner and Cera worked previously on a track called "Meditate" last year, a remixed version of which will be on the new EP.

According to Penner, Canada in Space is representative of the country's sense of whimsy. He said in a press release:

"There are more Canadians than any other nationality represented in the planned Mars colony. The Canada in Space EP is an imagining of the dreams, reveries, phantasms, hallucinations, psycho-spiritual projections, naïve mythologies, actions, visions and experiences of an abandoned crew before, during and after its permanent journey to Mars; the compression of time; dispersion, fragmentation of states and generations in space; ultimate detachment and wormholes."

The duo's European tour consists of ten dates in the following cities:

23-Jun UK London - 100 Club 24-Jun UK Bristol - Exchange 25-Jun UK Manchester - Gullivers 26-Jun UK Leeds - Belgrave Music Hall 27-Jun UK Edinburgh - The Electric Circus 29-Jun UK Brighton - Komedia 30-Jun IE Dublin -Workmans Club 02-Jul NL Amsterdam - Paradiso Upstairs 03-Jul FR Paris - Le Badaboum 06-Jul DE Berlin - Privatclub
