For those of you who doubt that ZZ Top is working on a new album...

...check out the Twitter feed of NotRickRubin. Last show of the Petty tour was Sept. 27 in Phoenix, they could actually be in LA with Rubin today like he implies:

It is so hot in LA right now, I almost shaved my head and beard. The ZZ Top guys were in tears, so I reconsidered.

We're still here!

We've been busy but will be posting a bit more after the ZZ/Tom Petty tour is over. European dates are all set for October, then maybe more work on the new album by Christmas?
