Soul Asylum will release their new album, Candy From a Stranger, on May

12, marking the Minneapolis-based group's first recording since 1995's

Let Your Dim Light Shine. Though they haven't released an album in more

than three years, Dave Pirner and the gang have managed to keep

themselves rather busy. After penning the score to the Kevin Smith film

Chasing Amy, Pirner headed out on tour as drummer for The O'Jeez, a band

that also includes ex-Geraldine Fibber Jessy Greene. Guitarist Dan

Murphy, who wrote one new song for Candy, has joined Golden Smog in the

studio and hung out with the Jayhawks on their latest tour. Fans of

bassist Karl Mueller can check him out at Minneapolis' 400 Club, where

he's been spotted playing DJ with Babes in Toyland frontwoman Lori

Barbero.

On a sadder note, drummer Sterling Campbell has officially left the

band. Auditions for new drummers are well underway and will be filled by

the time Soul Asylum embarks on their next tour. (Lana Fanelli)
