Jade Tree released "Very Emergency" on September 28, 1999. Around the time of release, they went on a brief tour to promote the album on the East Coast and in Canada with Euphone. Darren Doane returned to film the music video for "Emergency! Emergency!"; the band agreed to make the video because Doane volunteered to do it for free. It premiered on "120 Minutes" in October. The band reconvened with Robbins to tour the US with his band, Burning Airlines, through October and November; they were joined by Pele and the Dismemberment Plan, among others. Further shows were added with Burning Airlines, pushing the trek into early December. The band performed in Japan in February 2000, before taking a break. They went on an American East Coast and Midwest tour the following month with Rich Creamy Paint, the Explosion and Pele.
