Ted Leo Talks New Album, Tour
by Staff | 00.00.0000

Forget D.C.'s punk scene! Ted Leo + The Pharmacists have decided farm living is the life for them, well, for recording purposes, anyway.

The band recently escaped the city life to a rural Massachusetts farms to ride horse, pitch hay and record their new album. Leo, and fellow bandmates, Dave Lerner and Chris Wilson set out to work on their fifth album, the yet-to-be-titled follow-up to 2004's Shake The Sheets. Produced by Fugazi drummer, Brendan Canty, the record has been given a tentative spring 2007 release.

Later this month, Ted Leo + The Pharmacists will team up with progressive pop artists, Death Cab for Cutie later for a slew of North American tour dates. They will be headlining a few gigs late November and early December.
