Van Halen may use an intimate New York City club as the launching pad for an upcoming tour with David Lee Roth as the front man.  Rolling Stone is reporting that the Cafe Wha?, a 250 seat club in Greenwich Village once operated by Manny Roth, an uncle of David Lee Roth, will be the setting for an exclusive Thursday night (1/5) performance.  Details about the 2012 tour reuniting the band with its original lead singer are supposed to be announced Tuesday (1/3), with tickets going on sale a week later.  A club on the opposite coast, the Roxy in LA, has apparently been the rehearsal base for the group since early November.  Video footage featuring the current VH lineup of that surfaced a couple of weeks ago was apparently shot at the Roxy.  A new album is said to be slated for a Feb. 7 release.  As with everything involving Van Halen, nothing is for certain until your ears are bleeding.
