Black Rebel Motorcycle Club will release their follow-up to the excellent 2010 record ‘Beat The Devil’s Tattoo‘ in March next year.
In a message to fans led by their guitarist Robert Levon Been, the band remarks:
“Hey guys, I would like to be the first to tell everyone who has been patiently waiting, that the new Black Rebel Motorcycle Club album is officially confirmed to be released in March 2013. This album has taken every last ounce of us to bring to life, and if it wasn’t for you guys keeping us going, we don’t know if it would’ve ever seen the light of day.”
“It’s going to be a joyful day indeed when we get to see you all again and share these songs with you. Peter, Leah and myself are dying to get out of this studio right now and back into the fight. It’s taken us a long while getting back on our feet, but the time has come.”
The first stage of a 2013 world tour has also had its details unveiled, following a previously confirmed trio of California dates in San Francisco, Santa Cruz and Los Angeles next month.
The tour begins with an as-yet-unconfirmed gig on March 13th, while the UK trip is due to open up on March 24th at the Manchester Ritz.
