I know tribute bands are a bit marmite, you either love or
hate them, but I went along to a Britpop Tribute night last
month in Yeovil, and saw the above Blurd, along with Oas-is and
Stereo-ironics.
Musicianship...

gorillaz are nominated in the Brits 2019 British Group category...

Blur's official Snapchat account has posted a link to their answer.sh page and has been answering questions… What's going on…

Hi all,

Apologies if this is the wrong sub-forum for this (since it's self-promo), if so could a mod please move it to the appropriate forum?

I've been a long-time lurker of this forum but I thought you all would like...

Surprised this hasn't been picked up on here yet, but on Monday a new Graham Coxon gig was announced, Martin, he of Blur Fan Club fame, was instrumental (no pun intended) in putting this together. Given there are no...

What are your favourite Blur B-sides?

One I've re-visited recently is I Know, and I think it's fantastic! It hardly gets talked about, but it's this great little psychedelic track with a stellar bass line, good...

Anyone going to this tonight in Islington ?

exclusive interview with Dave Rowntree as we hit rewind on the career of Blur. Find out more about the band’s formative years, how they survived the Britpop wars with Oasis and the inside story of their 2015 comeback...

Do you reckon 13 will get a re-release on vinyl this year for the 20 year anniversary?

Blast form the past found today on Twitter :-)

First jingle by Blur:

Damon's voice is getting worse live every year. He can't reach high notes anymore. So my question is, which is you favourite Damon's voice era?

Mine would be something between 1994/95.

I'm talking about live...

Don't know how many songs he's released this decade (must be close to 100) but there have been four Gorillaz albums (Plastic Beach, The Fall, Humans, and Now Now), Blur's Magic Whip, the solo album, that Dr Dee thing (I...

just found this - good on Damon/Paul and early TGTB&TQ...

Blur sold millions and Gorillaz sold even more – it seems that Damon Albarn can do no wrong. Will his new supergroup be touched by the same magic?
By Murphy...

What is this song about, or more so, what is the reference to cheating?

Apparently it's about the pursuit of songwriting and the toll of introspection and reliving big experiences. Obviously there is a reality that for...

Just listened to this today, I thought of GBQ doing a stripped down or new version of it. Tony would do a good job of that awkward beat.

New TGTBATQ on 6 music tomorrow. Lamacq’s show

!!!!!!!!!

Great! I made a new thread for this. Guess they'll announce the new album 'officially' tomorrow. -Veikko

Buy It Now with free postage on eBay. It sells for £250 these days... Lucky me!

Just thought would be nice to see some of peoples favourite Damon tracks maybe starting from Magic Whip on-wards. Before The Magic Whips release things seemed a bit quiet for Damon. He was doing that Alice in Wonderland...

Am I the only one who enjoys this? Yes, the auto-tune is over-the-top and unnecessary, but I really like the song structure and instrumentation.

Enjoyable interview with Dave from 2015, where he ranks the albums and talks about the bands career.

I’m sure most have read it, but was good to re-read it.

If anyone is interested, here is the link.

Is it just me, or is it fair to say Miss America is massively inspired by this Syd Barrett song? :P

havent seen this mentioned

coming october 12th
with even worse new artwork apparently (hope that's just a bad google image search)

Apparently Damon's fed up with pop music. I rather doubt he's really going to go through with quitting pop. It's Damon after all, you always have to take what he says with a grain of salt.

We are all well aware that Alex was massively influenced by 80s pop and post-punk bands like Duran Duran and New Order(from what I recall from Bit of a blur). Damon and Graham both cite 60s pop bands like The Kinks, The...

Caught a little on this on the way home, hopefully someone can rip and post it. Damon stalking about 25 years of partying and his best/worst moments. He mentioned the trousers down rollercoaster tour incident which is...

i have not,, attended here in so long, well how is ever one doing? :D
my queston is simple. whe#n will blur present themselves back on the stage. did they officialy brake up?
i will never get to witness them, i think,...

What does everyone think is the likelihood of a follow-up to TMW?

Surely that is Gorillaz done and dusted for a while after the current touring schedule is over. TGTBTQ probably wont have too extensive a promotional...

We all know that I need a gun turned into Dirty Harry and although there's no obviously links between the other songs they clearly made an impact to what Demon Days became.

Anyway during my lovely insomnia phases last...

Heard a random version of a Franz Ferdinand song in a shop which I tracked down to this album

Also coincidentally contains a rather lively version of Feel Good Inc :lol:
