Brody Dalle kicked off the new year — and her 40th birthday — with a celebratory Instagram post in which she confirmed that her California punk band the Distillers would return to the studio in April to record the long-awaited follow-up to 2003's Coral Fang. The group stirred up attention in September 2018 with their first new song in 15 years, "Man vs. Magnet," and the B-side "Blood in Gutters," previously recorded as a solo single in 2004.
"Hello 40, hello vintage 80's dress from Paris that I found in the desert 5 years ago for NYE and never wore, hello luck, hello love, hello success, hello divine protection, hello health , hello wishes , hello cake for breakfast , hello 2019 , hello you , happy new year! ... HELLO making a Distillers record in April , oh yes das right," says the singer in her post, where she shows off her sequined prom dress and a mostly-eaten birthday cake.
Three 2019 dates are confirmed for the band so far: Columbus, Ohio's Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival in May and two U.K. dates to follow with the Reading Festival and Leeds Festival in August.
