Chris Wolstenholme reveals the start date for their new album sessions

Bass player Chris Wolstenholme said that the trio will be heading straight in to the studio after they headline Reading And Leeds Festivals at the end of August.

Speaking on BBC Radio 1, the bassist said of the band's recording plans: "September and October, that's when we're going to get into the studio to start writing the new album."

Wolstenholme also indicated that the band have no intention of scaling back on their live commitments in the future, despite having had a fairly quiet 2011 in terms of live dates.

He said: We're always going to be the kind of band that want to get out and play live. As the years go on there's that temptation to cut the touring down less and less but we still love playing live. I can't ever imagine we'll be the kind of band that cut the touring down significantly.
The bassist also said that the band would not be debuting any new material during their Reading and Leeds headline sets.

He added: It's difficult to bring new songs into the live set before you record them with the internet and dodgy recordings of live songs getting out there before they've been released on an album. People tend not to play new songs live any more. That's why we want to get into the studio, make another album and then tour it.

Edit: Muse are on the front cover of NME next Thursday talking about Origin Of Symmetry so i'll get some scans uploaded as soon as possible

They're playing OoS at Reading and Leeds. Then they're going into the studio. I don't think Chris really has much to talk about.

Well, that's NME for you!

I guess someone has to put this stuff to print for those who don't listen to the radio.

Did Muse turn up on NME this week or is it all about the Indie label warehouse fires?

I thought the only non-articles about that this week would be to do with this weekend's V Festival, although there is apparently an article with Kasabian.

I'd have though any NME article for Muse would be next week, in the actual week of Reading.

I got the Clash issue of NME last week and it said "Next Week - Muse" with a pic of Matt on a whole page. I'd assume they would then include it, unless these riots have caused them to ultimately shelve it for the next week.

Yeah, I think this is what has happened.

I saw a link about it in the Reading/Leeds thread but yes it must be in next week's edition.
