DOWN bassist Rex Brown has told Billboard.com that there's "a lot of material left over" from 2007's "Over the Under" album, which was recently released in a deluxe edition through Best Buy. The outtakes will be considered for the fourth DOWN album, but Brown added that the quintet is also "writing constantly on the road. We still have all these ideas, and we play a lot of new stuff at sound check, just to feel it out. Hopefully we can get back in the studio in the fall and work on something." Also in the works is a documentary of DOWN's 2006 reunion after a nearly four-year hiatus, including both live and behind-the-scenes footage. "It's kind of about us learning how to walk together again," Brown said. "It just chronicles the life on the road of us starting to play again. We're right in the middle of it now."

	COMMENT \| Nice! posted by : RiotAct666 1/5/2009 9:17:52 PM

	Down are a great live band. Can't wait to see them again this year.

	Bout time there's a Dallas date !

	COMMENT \| Down is dead.... posted by : lundtheconqueror 1/5/2009 9:33:43 PM

	...after the last CD, which blew, this band is dead. ... and the "family" of similar bands they are dragging along with them makes this a boring bill.

	COMMENT \| Tour locations... posted by : SKZ 1/5/2009 9:52:48 PM

	Sheesh, it seems like Florida is the barren wasteland these days. Only about 4-5 good shows a year.

	COMMENT \| HELL YEAH! posted by : BloodandTears 1/5/2009 10:06:25 PM

	I get to see them two nights in a row. First, here at home in Atl, then up in Nashville where I go to school. Both dates take place during Spring Break. Sweet shit!

	COMMENT \| . posted by : Blackenistheyend 1/5/2009 10:13:23 PM

	Assjack is some good shit. They need to put out an actual album instead of all those bootlegs.

	COMMENT \| hmmm posted by : Steve Guttenberg 1/5/2009 10:13:40 PM

	NO NYC date yet? HANK III and DOWN never miss NY

	COMMENT \| posted by : flosstin 1/5/2009 10:18:45 PM

	lundtheconqueror - you're an idiot. you honestly think these bands are similar? none of the four of these bands sound anything at all alike. something isn't right w/ these dates...they all conflict with dates that Hank III has posted on his site.

	COMMENT \| flosstin posted by : lundtheconqueror 1/5/2009 10:27:01 PM

	You're an idiot! I said similar, not exactly....

	COMMENT \| hmmmmm.... posted by : ZeeMisfit 1/5/2009 10:47:19 PM

	MONTREAL CANADA

	COMMENT \| posted by : EternallyMetal 1/5/2009 10:50:08 PM

	I'd love for a NY date. Hell, come to Poughkeepsie, so I don't have to travel as far. I saw Phil once with Pantera, I'd love to catch a Down show. oh, btw..the new CD's not that bad. Definately a step up from the II album

	COMMENT \| D-TOWN ! posted by : jebadiahthames 1/5/2009 10:51:35 PM

	Finally a fucking DALLAS date !!!!!

	COMMENT \| Fani Dilth posted by : anti emo 1/5/2009 11:00:41 PM

	I wholeheartedly agree with you. Down always skips Dallas (Im assuming due to the bad blood between Phil Anselmo).

	COMMENT \| What about WOOSTAH??? posted by : lifer0801 1/5/2009 11:23:47 PM

	They always go to the Palladium in Worcester, god damnit!

	COMMENT \| Hank III and Down? posted by : Zoo Keeper 666 1/5/2009 11:31:32 PM

	I think I will be at the NJ date...

	COMMENT \| . posted by : TheOutsider 1/5/2009 11:52:25 PM

	No New England dates at all? Odd, Usually they play Worcester or Providence.

	COMMENT \| posted by : BorderLine 1/5/2009 11:55:38 PM

	I would kill to see Evil Army live!

	COMMENT \| lundtheconqueror posted by : hang-the-bastard 1/6/2009 12:08:42 AM

	You can't read between the lines.. you are dull, and nobody cares about you.

	COMMENT \| Hell yes posted by : apex 1/6/2009 1:07:52 AM

	I took a road trip from Fort worth to Houston to see Down play the Meridian. I'm really looking forward to seeing Them play Dallas. This will be a must see show if you live in the DFW area.

	COMMENT \| ZeeMisfit posted by : Beerzerk 1/6/2009 1:26:27 AM

	Oh yeah, III said he was going to tour with Those Poor Bastards in Feb. No way those Down/III dates are real!

	COMMENT \| posted by : EvilPat 1/6/2009 3:59:42 AM

	III's sixth album? 1. Outlaw 2. Lovesick 3. Straight to Hell 4. Rebel What are the other two albums?!

	COMMENT \| Forgive me... posted by : Haunted/Hated 1/6/2009 7:23:48 AM

	Am I being really retarded? Why is everyone talking about Hank III?

	COMMENT \| posted by : WadiYaNo 1/6/2009 7:26:11 AM

	I do not believe these are correct dates, Diamond Ballroom has Soilwork listed for March 13th and tickets are already on sale

	COMMENT \| I really hope... posted by : slaughterhouse 1/6/2009 8:27:32 AM

	They come to Utah...Seems like they have an off day on May 16th and they will be driving through Utah anyways to get to CA from CO, so hopefully they get too it!

	COMMENT \| THESE TOUR DATES ARE NOT ACCURATE posted by : Deftera 1/6/2009 8:56:21 AM

	They seemed to be when Hank III was on the bill, but since he left and no official confirmation and seemingly conflicting dates with venues, it's obvious the tour has been pushed back a bit. Rumor has it to March.

	COMMENT \| come to boston posted by : ozzyslovechild 1/6/2009 10:33:17 AM

	repeatedly. same with new music.. :)olc

	COMMENT \| LONG LIVE DIRT WEED! posted by : MetalPoser 1/6/2009 4:53:36 PM

	I'm there in Philly.

	COMMENT \| tear posted by : Thunder Thief 2/24/2009 6:15:31 PM

	these dates are wrong, the tour got pushed back, cause Phil tore his ACL. The tour will start May 3rd, but not all dates are confirmed.
