Los Lobos [ tickets ] have added several new dates to their perpetual touring calendar, which will find the band supporting its as-yet-untitled new album later this year.

New dates added by the East Los Angeles roots-rockers include several new shows in California and two new dates in the Colorado Rockies, to go along with a previously announced July 28 show in Snowbird, UT, and a pair of overseas festival billings, Aug. 15 at the Marktrock Festival in Leuven, Belgium, and Aug. 19 at the Drammen Festival in Drammen, Norway.

The band's new album--which doesn't have a name yet--is set for a Sept. 12 release, according to the band's record label. Saxophonist/keyboardist Steve Berlin recently told the Yes! Weekly of Greensboro, NC, that the album was nearing completion.

"As we speak we're at the eleventh hour and fifty-ninth minute of a new record," Berlin said in the interview. "It's just a question of, is everything we want to say in there?"

"With the last record and 'Good Morning Aztlan' we wanted to get back to more songwriting with the traditional verse-chorus thing," he added. "This record's much more impressionistic. I think we're back to the 'Kiko' era. It's kind of like picking up mercury. We've spread pieces all over the floor and we're trying to pick it up."
