While Gwen Stefani does her own thing, the band’s bassist swings by the L.A. designer’s party and talks about heading to Coachella with Dreamcar.

A few weeks ago our friend Tony Kanal reached out to see if we could get some of his Yamaha BB’s studio-ready to start recording with his new project, which features fellow No Doubt members Tom Dumont and Adrian Young as well as A.F.I. singer Davey Havok.

Two decades ago, a band from Orange County was fighting with its record label to get more time in the recording studio.

This year, No Doubt's touring schedule consists of 8 festivals, including the band's triumphant May performance at Rock in Rio USA in Las Vegas.

The carefree days of piling into a van and heading to Las Vegas for a quick-and-all-out-wild weekend gig are long gone for the members of rock band No Doubt, bassist Tony Kanal admitted.

We had the chance to catch up with rockstar bassist Tony Kanal and got the scoop on what he’s been up to lately, what it was like during the early days of No Doubt, what the band has been up to since Rock Steady, and what his plans are for the future.

Bassist Tony Kanal spoke to Popdust about what the heck he did for the past decade, his disdain for '90s nostalgia, and his favorite perk of being a rock star.

Tony Kanal gives us the lowdown on what influences the band's new album.

According to bassist Tony Kanal, it’s a triumph that the album – the band’s first since 2001’s Rock Steady – was completed at all.

No Doubt will go on tour to support its upcoming new album -- at least, it will if bassist Tony Kanal has anything to say about it.

When No Doubt went on hiatus in 2004, nobody in the band faced a bigger adjustment than Tony Kanal, the band's bassist and, along with singer Gwen Stefani, a key songwriting contributor for the band.

"We're a live band - we had to get out there and reconnect onstage," says bassist Tony Kanal, who filled us in on the band's 55-date tour.

When No Doubt went on hiatus in 2004, nobody in the band faced a bigger adjustment than Tony Kanal, the band's bassist and, along with singer Gwen Stefani, a key songwriting contributor for the band.

But for Kanal, whose identity and day-to-day life in the band were threaded together like twine, the hiatus was akin to leaping off a cliff without being able to see the ground below.

The band No Doubt went on hiatus in 2004, and singer Gwen Stefani subsequently established herself as a hugely successful solo artist. Now, though, the quartet is back together, and bassist Tony Kanal says he always assumed it would happen at some point.

Bassist Kanal took some time to talk about the band’s reunion, their forthcoming album and their current frame of mind as they embark on this latest chapter in their history.

No Doubt have babies on the brain — and it's not just because Gwen Stefani is expecting a little one. The band hopes to create its own baby — a new album — and has started sowing the seeds in the studio, bassist Tony Kanal revealed.

No Doubt bassist Tony Kanal could be taking it easy while singer Gwen Stefani does her solo thing. And for the most part, he is.

Coincidence as much as a determination to help brought together the all-star lineup for tonight's Music for Relief benefit at the Pond.

“We’re going on seventeen years," says No Doubt bassist Tony Kanal rather wistfully. To celebrate, the SoCal rock group will release the four-disc retrospective Boom Box on November 25th, featuring its singles, videos and some rarities.

The rise of No Doubt, once a marginal band on the fringes of LA's punk movement, is one of rock's most unlikely success stories.
