Yeah, I had to leave at 10:15, and the support act was just clearing the stage at 9:25. And it said "special guests"... I was beginning to think I wouldn't see Damon at all that night :/... He's my ultimate hero, seen him with the main three bands now, so I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzybear Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 He's really kind and thoughtful. I mean idk it's so weird now after meeting him and hanging out a bit, he's just very normal. You would never know he's famous just having a conversation with him, he just doesn't act it at all, very down to earth and open to a lot of people. Very chill and hilarious as well, has the best stories. That support act lasted wayyy too long. One of the security guards at the front was even like "damn you guys are patient!" ahaha!

And I'm glad to hear he's a nice guy :) As I say, he's my absolute hero, he's the reason I got into music (listening and performing). He's a great, great man.

Mark Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Can anyone close to Damon confirm or deny the rumours that they're booked for Reading? My mate swears by it. My head says no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VivaGroaning Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 there should totally a big blur reunion festival tour and another gorillaz album and anything else damon wants to do HE IS GOD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Magpie Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 If they're booked for Reading, I'm going, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzybear Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Does your mate work for Reading or festival organizing? I can't see that happening unless Blur put out a new album tbh and Alex made it sound like they might just be recording one new song or something. :confused: They already did the reunion shows so it would be weird and bit gimmicky if they kept playing festivals without any new stuff. I don't know if I believe it but I could be totally wrong :P And I hope if I see Blur one day it's something more intimate than a festival.

Ms Magpie Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 That's what Pulp did this year, though. They only played old songs; I don't think they've released any new song at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzybear Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Yeah but Blur already did that with the reunion in 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He claims there are clues, one of them being the statement from the Reading organiser about Stone Roses not playing 2012 as it would be "inappropriate". Personally I can't see it happening either, I'm not sure if I want it to happen. It'll be three years since I saw them at Hyde Park and that was the joint-best gig of my life. Nothing's changed, and as Damon said, they've got nothing new to give. However, they have been given the Brit for Outstanding Contribution. Maybe new material is round the corner?

Cheese Nip 2 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Does anyone know any info regarding a new blur album? I've heard rumors, but does anyone know if they are based in any solid facts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzybear Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 No official news as of yet, it might not even be an album, maybe just a couple songs or EP. Only solid fact is that they are playing the Brits and receiving an award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Don't know if people have heard, but William Orbit claimed on Twitter recently to have been working with Damon. That could mean any project, but he went on to tell Coxon well done for nailing a guitar take. Have to say I'm more than a little surprised if Orbit is working with them. Despite 13 being my favourite album, I would've expected them to go back to the classic sound revisited for a big return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Magpie Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Personally, I'll be very happy if the LP/EP (whatever it is) sounds anything like 13 or Blur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Nip 2 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Maybe they'll announce something at the brit awards. Plus they're changing their website around, who know? Just speculation though.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
