Bassist Michael Shuman ( Wires on Fire , Jubilee , and Mini Mansions ) and keyboardist Dean Fertita ( The Waxwings , The Dead Weather ) took over touring duties from Alain Johannes and Natasha Shneider, respectively. In July 2007, Van Leeuwen stated the band had written new material “still in its infancy”, which Homme later suggested might be released as an EP . Following a subsequent interview with Homme, The Globe and Mail reported that the EP “could contain as many as 10 B-sides recorded during the Era Vulgaris sessions.” It was later reported that the EP would not be released due to the record label’s unwillingness to put out another QOTSA release at that time.
