MUSIC NEWS - Stone Temple Pilots has announced the release of their hugely anticipated new album. "STONE TEMPLE PILOTS" (out via Atlantic Records), their first all-new collection in nearly a decade, will be in stores and at all online retailers on May 25.
The new effort was produced by Stone Temple Pilots and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge (Green Day, Dave Matthews Band, My Chemical Romance). "STONE TEMPLE PILOTS", the album, shows that one of rock's biggest bands is quite able to continue their enduring approach to music; melding big rock riffs, classic pop hooks, and the restless experimentalism of glam, punk, and psychedelia.
Stone Temple Pilots, the band, is Scott Weiland, Dean DeLeo, Robert DeLeo, and Eric Kretz and will introduce fans to the new album at their first live date of 2010, playing as part of South By Southwest (SXSW) Music Festival in Austin, TX on Thursday, March 18 at the famed Austin Music Hall. The gig will kick off an extensive worldwide 2010 schedule for STP, with USA dates, radio festivals, and a European tour slated to follow (see itinerary below). A full-scale North American summer tour will also be announced in the coming weeks.
The California-based band went on hiatus in 2002, after the release of the critically acclaimed "SHANGRI-LA DEE DA," ultimately reuniting for a huge 2008 concert tour encompassing more than 65 dates across North America.
