Van Halen play at New York's 'Cafe Wha?'

Van Halen play at New York's 'Cafe Wha?'

Van Halen is playing a concert at the Cafe Wha? in Greenwich Village on Thursday.  Word is the band will perform a 45-minute set.
The group hasn't played in public since the end of their 2007/2008 reunion tour with original frontman David Lee Roth, though they have been rehearsing for their upcoming world tour at the Roxy in Los Angeles for the past few months.
A new album is in the works, and a new image released by the band has the date "2.7.12" on it. A new video and single is expected to hit sometime this month, and tour tickets will be put on sale from January 10th. 

The 250-seat Cafe Wha? is an unlikely place for Van Halen to launch their new tour, but the club has an important family connection to David Lee Roth. His uncle Manny Roth owned and operated the venue, providing a stage to then-up-and-coming acts such as Jimi Hendrix, Bill Cosby, Bob Dylan, Richard Pryor and many others.
