With the headline "they never went away," Samiam have announced work on a new record.

And now they're back. Samiam is hunkering down with a squall of new songs. They'll be rehearsing said new material in November in San Francisco. Jason, Sergie, Sean and Johnny all down in the basement with nothing to protect them but a twelve pack of budweiser and their chosen instruments. Everyone is stoked! Look for a release next summer, followed by some touring."

The band released their last record, Astray, in 2000. Samiam got back together in January.
