Maybe we'll here some of the stuff this summer?

The trek includes a June 24-25 stand at New York's Madison Square Garden, which has hosted some of the band's most memorable shows. Kings of Leon will provide support June 11-17, and Ted Leo and the Pharmacists will open the other dates.

Earlier this year, band members got together for eight days to begin kicking around ideas for the next Pearl Jam album, Ament said, cautioning that "it doesn't mean there'll be a record out next month, but it's the start of the process. Sometimes it takes six months and sometimes it takes two years."

"It's just fun to play," he continued. "We've actually gotten really good at jamming with each other, so it's fun to get together and crank up the amps. We'll have (drummer) Matt (Cameron) throw a beat at us and try to come up with something. There's some new, different kind of things coming out of people."

According to guitarist Stone Gossard, "We're just getting into it, which is so exciting. We have no idea where it's going, but we have a lot of great little starts."

Band members have plenty on their individual plates as well. Gossard is working on his second solo album with longtime collaborator Pete Droge, and guitarist Mike McCready is preparing for his annual benefit show for the Northwest Chapter of the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America, set for May 3 at Seattle's Showbox.

Meanwhile, frontman Eddie Vedder's first solo tour, a short West Coast run, will get under way April 2 in Vancouver. "He's going to do great," Ament said. "He's been warming up for this his whole life, but especially the last seven or eight years, playing a song or two himself before our shows."
Now we got a fuckin fight up here,what there's a republican in the audience,what's going on? Eddie(Randell's Island N.Y 96)

    i hope they start jamming a little at shows. i'm not suggesting they go phish on us, but when they extend certain songs (porch, daughter, immortality) you can see the potential...i wish they would let these themes build a little instead of jsut noodling over the same groove (which still sounds awesome). try it out for a couple of songs a night, it cant hurt....they have the talent and skill...theyve been playing together long enough to know each others' tendencies...why not give it a shot
  • can't wait to hear the new album...

    I miss the days of '93, '94, '95 when they would starting working on new stuff and debuting it on tour before they went into studio.
  • maybe they'll bust out a new song or two during the mini tour.
