ZZ Top has finally got a release date set for La Futura. The first studio release from the Texas trio in nine years will arrive September 11.  The eagerly anticipated album marks a return to the gritty, low down sound fans grew to love the band for during its early days, but also takes full advantage of modern recording techniques and equipment to infuse tracks with an edgy intensity.  Billy Gibbons thinks they've struck just the right balance, saying, 'We thought long and hard about what this album should be.  We wanted to recall the directness of our early stuff but not turn our backs on contemporary technology. The result of this melding of the past and the present is, of course, La Futura.' If I Gots To Get Paid and a few other tracks released in a preview EP are a good indication, the Top has nailed it.
ZZ Top is touring Europe until early August, when Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard return to open a US tour on August 14 in Bakersfield, California.
