Black Rebel Motorcycle Club to release DVD

BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB have revealed plans to release a live DVD this autumn.

The disc, entitled Live, due for release on November 10, was filmed and recorded during concerts in Berlin, Dublin and Glasgow during 2007.

Speaking to Billboard, guitarist Robert Levon Been said: "People have been urging us to do something like this for a while. It came out a lot better than anyone thought it would. It became a labour of love rather than something to just put out."

The DVD will also include footage of studio recording sessions, videos and backstage acoustic performances.

The band also announced that they plan to release a new album early next year.

Been added: "We just started writing endlessly, and it kind of took off like a bullet. We were writing on the road, at sound checks and whatnot. It came out really kind of spookily easy.

"We tracked, like, 23 or 24 [songs]; right now we're pulling our hair out trying to get down to 13 or 14. It's a high-class problem to have, though. I ain't complaining."
