Andy Greene of RollingStone.com recently reported that journalists across New York have been invited to a Van Halen concert at the Cafe Wha? in Greenwich Village this Thursday, January 5th. Though nothing is official, word is the band are going to perform a 45-minute set. The group hasn't played in public since the end of their 2007/'08 reunion tour with original frontman David Lee Roth, though they have been rehearsing for their upcoming world tour at the Roxy in Los Angeles for the past few months.

If the 250-seat Cafe Wha?  seems like an unlikely place for Van Halen to launch their new tour, you should know that the club has an important family connection to David Lee Roth. His uncle Manny Roth owned and operated the club for years, booking then-up-and-coming acts  Jimi Hendrix, Bill Cosby, Bob Dylan, Richard Pryor and many others.

Interscope/Universal will release the as-yet-untitled new Van Halen album on February 7th in North America. Interscope/Universal Japan will release the album a day later as a regular version plus limited deluxe with a bonus DVD will be available. We at radio should have the fist single in our grubby little hands on January 10th.
