Like i menton on the top of this report I saw the lovely Marice Bolen of The Von Bondies and she got back after six Months out of the area begin in LA to the New England Area and to Chicago to record a brand New C.D well i got this E-mail on myspace on saturday afternoon that say the following:

New record = New news!!!
For the last 6 months we have been working away at the new record. We have been to the West coast (California) then to the East coast (Connecticut) and finally back to the Midwest (chicago).

And in those 6 months we have all lost our minds, gained some thicker skin, lost a good portion of our hearing (at least Jason), seen some good shows, met some really cool/nice people, and made a record that describes those 6 months.

We will be seeing all of you very soon. In some club, bar, skate park, festival, basement, areana, pool party, or bar mitzvah.

The album is tentatively titled
"Love, Hate, and then there's you"

According to a press release, the album "is an emotional journey of Dungeons & Dragonsesque proportions," and it's "filled with hand-rolled peyote cigarettes, sticky sage resin, and old carburetors," which we are told is the freak-folk equivalent of bonus features.(picthforkmedia.com)
