MTV Article about DLT

Thanks to Wendybird: Velvet Revolver are planning what is sure to be a much wilder ride than "The Polar Express" for their "Dirty Little Thing" video, the third single from their debut album, Contraband. Velvet Revolver will shoot the video next week, before heading to Las Vegas for shows on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. The "Dirty Little Thing" video will debut in early 2005 while the band is touring overseas in Europe, Japan and Australia. A return trek through the U.S. is in the works for the spring. They are hoping to tour with the Jet and QOTSA for the U.S. tour. You can read more of the article here:
