Evan Dando revives his old band after an eight-year break...

frontman EVAN DANDO has confirmed the band are writing another album.

Dando, who was providing vocals for seminal band MC5’s recent tour, decided to leave to concentrate on new material for the band, who had a string of hits in the early Nineties.

Writing on evandando.com.com he wrote: "I want to tell you all what a great time I had singing with D.K.T/MC5. After doing 42 shows I decided to leave the tour. I need to finish writing the next MC5 record. The [a][/a] tour inspired me greatly and I'm now ready to get back to working on my own music.

"I would like to thank Wayne Kramer, Michael Davis and Dennis Thompson for giving me this remarkable opportunity."

The album will be the groups first since 1996’s 'Car, Button, Cloth'.
