Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Announce New Tour And Album

They might not be one per centers, but Hells Angels aficionado Hunter S. Thompson would surely be pleased with the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.

The nouveau-greaser trio will release their fifth studio album, Beat The Devil's Tattoo, on March 9.

The record will be the band's first studio release since last year's The Effects Of 333, and in many ways, it represents a new start for the decade-old trio.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club have introduced Raveonettes drummer Leah Shapiro to the fold, and they also returned to Basement Studio in Philadelphia to record the album. That's the same place they recorded their bluesy 2005 opus, Howl.

The band will host a record release party in their hometown — and Thompson's former stomping grounds — of San Francisco on March 9.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club will also tour the U.S. and Canada in late February, before heading to Europe in mid-April. Dates in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal, are on the itinerary.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club just released their first live album, the aptly-titled Live.
