Black Rebel Motorcycle Club’s new album Beat the Devil’s Tattoo is out March 8/9.

PS, I’ll have you know that Peter Hayes came over to us after the show in Van, because we’re that cool. Good to chat with him – though I had also interviewed him before sometime around 2001 in London, England. “I, uh, am sorry I don’t remember that,” he shyly mumbled. “Was it good for you?” I asked. “If it was good for you, it was good for me,” he replied. Points for that. And for the ‘chops.
