Pearl Jam Album, Film, Tour In The Works

Pearl Jam will play live dates in the U.S. later this year, including the Outside Lands Festival in San Francisco Aug. 28-30, Billboard has confirmed. The band has also completed 14 songs for a new album and is working on a film with director Cameron Crowe, guitarist Mike McCready said in a radio interview late last month.

McCready told Seattle\'s "Ron & Don Show" that the band is about halfway finished with its next album, which is being recorded in California with producer Brendan O\'Brien. McCready said the band is expecting to have the album out before the end of this year. As previously reported, the band will self-release the album, its ninth.

As for touring, the band is doing a "little thing in the States," and is looking to play South America in 2010, McCready said.

Pearl Jam is widely expected to be one of the headliners of this year\'s Austin City Limits Music Festival in Austin, Texas. The promoters, C3 Presents, declined to comment to Billboard about the lineup, but the Austin Chronicle is calling it "the worst-kept secret since Metallica?s SXSW showcase." Dave Matthews Band, Beastie Boys and Kings of Leon are also expected to be announced as headliners on April 28. Early bird passes for Austin City Limits are on sale at aclfestival.com.

Pearl Jam is also planning to tape an appearance on the Austin City Limits television show, producer Terry Lickona told a pbs.org questioner in March.

Pearl Jam have long been courted by C3 Presents for the Austin festival, especially after the promoters convinced the band to play Lollapalooza in 2007, its first large festival show in the U.S. since the mid-1990s. Pearl Jam played Bonnaroo in 2008.

"We\'re building up to our big 20th anniversary," McCready said. "We\'re trying to have a little campaign of building rereleases with new mixes and new outtakes up until that time. We\'re trying to do a movie with Cameron Crowe with all of our existing footage."

Pearl Jam bassist attacked outside Southern Tracks

DeKalb County Police confirmed Wednesday that Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament was assaulted and robbed recently in the parking lot of a Clairmont Road recording studio.

A police report was not made available Wednesday night, but Rolling Stone magazine reported the incident occurred April 27 outside Southern Tracks, where the Seattle-based band is completing its ninth studio album.

According to the magazine, Ament and another man were jumped by three assailants waiting in the woods.

Wearing black masks and brandishing knives, the attackers smashed the windows of a rented Jeep and demanded money. Ament was robbed of $3,000, his passport and $4,320 worth of goods, the report said.

The bassist attempted to run away but was knocked to the ground, sustaining a cut on the head that did not require hospitalization. The robbers drove off in a black Nissan Maxima.

A surveillance camera captured the assault but no arrests have been made.

Southern Tracks is the home base of famed producer Brendan O?Brien, who is collaborating with Pearl Jam for a second time. Several major artists have recorded with O?Brien in his Atlanta studio, including Bruce Springsteen (2002?s ?The Rising? and 2007?s ?Magic?).

I need to give it a couple more listens. Felt it was OK... but I may just need to find the soul of the song.

It\'s funny I like Pearl Jam a bunch but never listen to them. Then when I do it\'s usually something new and I remember for a few weeks then they fall off my playlists again.
