Most young musicians dream of taking their music on the road, riding a tour bus, and playing shows in far off cities. Fue, a DeKalb-based indie alternative rock band, will be living that dream when they join the 2012 The Extreme Tour in Albuquerque, N.M., on July 2.

The band will continue with the tour through Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska and Iowa before returning to northern Illinois the first week of August. Fue was selected out of the nearly 400 bands who applied to be a part of the tour.

“We are so excited about going on our first national tour,” Joanna Rutzky, the band’s lead singer/keyboardist, said in a news release. “We’ve done several weekend trips, but this will be so much bigger. We are so humbled to have been selected out of all the bands who applied.”
