NO DOUBT at the 2004 MTV Video Music Awards at the American Airlines Arena, Miami, Florida - 29.08.04

The DON'T SPEAK stars confess they can't wait for Stefani and have already begun working on demos, albeit gingerly.

Bassist TONY KANAL says, "I wouldn't even say this album is in its infancy. It's conception, if anything. It's so super-early on.

"We're taking it very slowly, kind of just going in and writing here and there.

"Right now, it's all about the music and being as creative as possible."
