the Gorillaz were shit.

 

But Damon is a good musician....im really excited about the new band, especially because the guitarrist is an ex verve member (Simon Tong).

He wasnt as good as McCabe (lead guitar the verve) but he did a good job.

Damon Albarn: 'our album's a natural successor to Parklife'

Star reveals story behind 'The Good, The Bad And The Queen'

 

Damon Albarn has declared The Good, The Bad And The Queen's debut album "the natural successor to Blur's 'Parklife'".

 

Former Clash bassist Paul Simonon, who plays in the new band, also liken the new group's record to the work of his former band.

 

"If The Clash was the sound of the Westway, this music is strongly rooted in the same area. It's a very London record," he explained.

 

The album's London-centric theme may not have occurred without the influence of American Dangermouse, who produced the record.

 

Albarn explained: "When Brian (Dangermouse) came into the picture, everything changed. He said 'come on, let's make a really great English record'. I'd been holding back on writing an album like that ever since 'Parklife'...but I feel with people like Paul and Tony [Allen] and Simon around I can do it."

 

The Good, The Bad And The Queen's self-titled album will be released in January 2007, with single 'Herculean' out on October 30.

Herculean

 

 

Standing on the dock and now

By the gasworks

Celebrate the ghost gone by

When the love hurts

 

And the medicine man here 24/7

You can get it fast in Armaggeddon

Everyone on the way to heaven

So long

 

Call for prayer is come around here

In the morning

Wash our faces go to work

There is no warning

 

That it all gets better when life is straight

It's bigger than you the Welfare State

The wind keeps singing it's not too late

For you
