Some news about At the Drive In: "So other than that, it is true that we have decided to use Ross Robinson to produce the new record. It's really gonna be awesome, the new songs are coming together well. We start recording January 17 in LA, and will finish in time to leave for Europe for 5 1/2 weeks (including 2 weeks with Sunshine) on March 21st. We have also just confirmed our very first trip to Japan (!!!) in May. We are only doing 3 shows there (2 in Tokyo, one in Osaka), but two of the 3 are with the Japanese band Eastern Youth (on Toy Factory), who are amazing and we are stoked to be playing with them. We'll likely tour in the US in July for the new DEN Record. That seems so far away. Well have a great holiday and a safe but happy new century. " Can't wait for the new record.
