In late January 2010, the band began a tour, titled after the first track on the album, "I Was Music." The tour spanned 26 dates, lasting until April 17,[2] however did not feature any new songs, other than "I Was Music."[3] The band also held a four date tour in England in May, featuring two performances at The Great Escape festival in Brighton, and two solo dates in London.[4] After the album's release, the band toured with a 13 date tour in Japan, Virgin Killer, from later October until early December.[5]
Several videos were released to music video channels in promotion of the album.
