According to Colombian tour promoter EvenPro, VELVET REVOLVER will play the Palacio de los Deportes in Bogot?, Colombia on April 18, 2007. However, it should be noted that the band has not yet confirmed any touring plans and this report should be treated as a rumor only.

VELVET REVOLVER is working on its sophomore album with producer Brendan O'Brien after an initial stint with Rick Rubin "did not work out," according to singer Scott Weiland.

Brendan O'Brien has produced or mixed records by many of the major rock bands of the last 20 years, including PEARL JAM, SOUNDGARDEN, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE and AUDIOSLAVE.

The new VELVET REVOLVER album's previous working title was "Libertad". It will follow up the group's 2004 debut, "Contraband", which has sold more than two million copies in the U.S. There is no release date yet for the new CD.

Scott said that the band first started writing new songs about six months ago, but then "really kind of flat-lined for a while." Weiland admitted, "There was a definite loss of inspiration for a bit there...Once Brendan came on board, I guess it was kind of like a shot in the arm. It was a new energy."

Weiland has also been working on his first solo effort since 1998's "12 Bar Blues", which will come out in late 2007 or early 2008 through Softdrive Records, which the singer co-owns.
