Lit entered the studio this week to begin work on the follow up to their platinum major label debut, �A Place in the Sun�. Producer Don Gilmore will be sharing production duties with the group once again. 

According to a press release from the Orange County hard alt-rockers they plan to spend just six weeks recording and producing the as yet untitled new album and are shooting for a late summer release on their RCA Records vanity imprint �Dirty Martini� Records.

The Dirty Martini label was originally launched in 1999 by the group with the re-release of their debut album �Tripping the Light Fantastic�.  Now Lit plans to utilize the label once again with distribution being handled by RCA/BMG Worldwide. Their first signing to the new label was fellow Orange County rockers, Handsom Devil. Lit vocalist Jeremy Popoff co-produced their debut album with Ed Stasium (Ramones, Smithereens, Reverend Horton Heat). The first single from the Handsome Devil CD, �Makin� Money� will be released in early July 10 and the full-length album is expected to hit stores on August 21th. 

A new Lit home video, "Stuck In The Middle of Everywhere�, is also coming in August from Dirty Martini. According to the press release, the home video will feature, �never-before-seen live clips, backstage shots, and historical footage from the band's archives.  In addition, the video will include brand new videos for their songs �Four� and �The Best Is Yet To Come Undone.��
