In other news: No Doubt are back on tour? New album in the works?















"No Doubt recently announced that they'd be playing live shows soon, including an appearance at the Bamboozle Festival. Today they confirmed that their tour, the band's first in five years, would begin in May and would hit outdoor amphitheaters and arenas nationwide. What's more, pop-punk heroes Paramore will open all dates."

"After a lengthy hiatus -- and, you know, a few solo albums and a new baby from frontwoman Gwen Stefani -- Anaheim, CA, rock and ska quartet No Doubt will return in 2009 with a new album and supporting tour, beginning with a just-announced headlining performance at East Rutherford, NJ's Bamboozle Festival May 2-3. "It's time for some rock'n'roll," bassist Tony Kanal wrote to the band's official website. [Via MTV.com]

As for the new album: "If we go on tour, it will inspire us to write," Stefani wrote. "I need to see the fans out there." Guitarist Tom Dumont agrees and thinks the band could write the follow-up to 2001's Rock Steady while on the road. And Kanal is certainly on board as well. "I think playing some shows will make the studio time even better," the bassist wrote. "Playing shows, writing songs, kicking ass, ND 2009.""
