songs from their first album in four years, which will
be released January 23, 2007. Both will be released on

The Who will perform songs from their new mini rock
opera, WIRE & GLASS, material from their upcoming
studio album along with their greatest hits and
rarities, certain to please long time fans. The new
album, provisionally called "WHO 2," and the band's
first since 1982's IT'S HARD, is scheduled for an
October 23 release. 

"We're looking forward to reconnecting with our
American fans and hopefully seeing some new ones
coming along too," said The Who frontman Roger Daltry.


And speaking on the topic of fans, moe. guitarist Al
Schnier fondly recalls his own musical coming-of-age
with the legendary band: "I remember as a kid playing
my tennis racket, way before I ever played guitar, and
jamming to The Who... and listening to Townsend's
EMPTY GLASS in our family room over and over again...
seeing The Who when they were touring for IT'S HARD.
The Clash were opening - who are also heroes of ours -
and we're worthy?! This is a BIG deal for us."
