Via Frank (who got to see Buffalo Tom over the weekend), and from the bandwidth of NME:

Gruff Rhys has confirmed a tour of the US and Canada kicking off September 19 in Philadelphia.

The Super Furry Animals frontman will support his album 'Candylion' which was released in the US earlier this year via Conor Oberst's Team Love label.

The dates in question:
Philadelphia, PA Johnny Brendas (September 19)
Washington, DC Rock N Roll Hotel (20)
New York, NY Hiro Ballroom (21)
Brooklyn, NY Union Hall (22)
Boston, MA Museum of Fine Arts (23)
Toronto, ONT Rivoli (25)
Chicago, IL Schuba's (27)
Seattle, WA Crocodile Café (29)
Portland, OR Doug Fir (30)
San Francisco, CA Swedish American Hall (October 2)
Los Angeles, CA Rec Center Studios (3)

This is all well and good (and I'm sure it will be a blast), but I'm waiting with baited breath for the band to tour. I'm hearing early '08. New album in August. Stay tuned....
