Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club have announced plans to release a live DVD in November and a new studio album in the spring.
“People have been urging us to do something like this for a while,” guitarist Robert Levon Been said of the DVD, aptly titled ‘Live’.
Live includes performances from gigs at Dublin, Glasgow and Berlin in 2007 and also features a bonus disc comprising of studio recording footage, videos and acoustic performances.
Robert revealed all to Billboard.com, saying: “It came out a lot better than anyone thought it would. It became a labour of love rather than something to just put out.”
He also gave an insight into the progress of the bands new album, which is now at the mixing stages:
“We just started writing endlessly, and it kind of took off like a bullet,” he added, “We were writing on the road, at sound checks and whatnot. It came out really kind of spooky easy.”
The band have seemingly been diligent in their song writing, as Robert talked of 23 or 24 songs that they are trying to get down to 13 or 14, adding “It’s a high-class problem to have, though. I ain’t complaining.”
‘Live’ is due out on November 10th.
