Well, we know they've been working on a new album for the better part of a year now, and they played new songs during the summer shows. So they can't be done yet. The Hip generally don't do a lot of touring unless they have a new record to support, so I wouldn't expect a tour announcement until the album is released. Really the only thing that's kinda fishy in all this is the fact that there hasn't been any communication from the band since the summer. In the past they used to send out little e-mails and updates on the progress of the album, etc... But lately we haven't heard squat. I'm hoping this mystery gets solved soon.
