The band have not yet announced a release date for the new album, entitled "Shade", but they did reveal that it will be released sometime this fall. The new album follows 2009's "The Chair in the Doorway"

"Shade" was produced by Andre Betts (Madonna, Chaka Khan) and also reunites the band with Ron Saint Germain, who engineered their multi-platinum debut "Vivid," and is currently mixing the effort with the band.

Guitarist Vernon Reid had this to say about the album, "Shade is the sound of a band coming to terms with its shadows and light. "From the blue pulpit of Robert Johnson to the mean red streets of Brooklyn to the golden lure of Hollywood, Shade is the next chapter of a unique American journey."

The band has revealed the initial dates for their 30th Anniversary tour that will also be supporting the new album release. The announced tour dates begin on September 18th in Toronto, ON at The Opera House.

At press time the tour includes dates that span from the kick off in mid-September to the final announced date that takes place on December 7th in Hanover, MD at the Maryland Live Casino. Additional dates are still to be announced. - more on this story
