As faixas Under the Westway e The Puritan já vêm sendo tocadas em apresentações solo de Damon Albarn e estrearão oficialmente em webcast ao vivo transmitido pelo Twitter dia 2 de julho. A apresentação será feita em um lugar "secreto" e terá início às 15h15 (horário de Brasília), com direito a entrevista entre as duas músicas. Enquanto a próxima segunda não chega, confira [...]

Blur no han desaparecido, ni mucho menos . Después de un año duro en el que incluso se llegó a especular con la disolución de los divertidos Gorillaz, Albarn y los suyos acaban de confirmar que vuelven, y de hecho, que lo hacen, por así decirlo, a través de Twitter. Bueno, en realidad no, pero será a través de este desde donde pueda seguirse una entrevista, con actuación y dos temas nuevos incluidos, que han sido anunciados a través del servicio de microblogging . Todo surgía hace unos días a través de un extraño [...]

Ever since Blur announced that they'd be headlining a gig in Hyde Park to close the London Olympics, the music rumour mill has been rife with tales of new material. First it looked there would be something new released, with Graham Coxon making positive sounds whilst promoting his A&E solo album, then Damon Albarn was quoted in The Guardian saying that new material seemed 'unlikely' . Just a few days after that [...]

In the past few months Slacker Shack has posted a number of blogs about the potential of another Blur album. Firstly Graham Coxon stated there would defintely be another album then Damon Albarn  made it clear to The Guardian that there wouldn't. Amidst this confusion there were tales of the band jamming and rehearsing together and also a new tune, Under The Westway , [...]

Recently Sla cker Shack shared the news that new Blur material looked like it might be on the cards. Graham Coxon hinted at it in a couple of interviews and there was the performance of a new song ( 'Under The Westway' ) at a War Child charity gig in London back in February (and The Brits of course). There were rumours of sessions too. But it seems like [...]

If Albarn may have been unusually unreserved over the releasing of much contemporary material (be it for the superb DRC Music project , Gorillaz' stilted DoYaThing , or Blur's understated Under The Westway ) he's certainly been rather more tentative when showering us with stuff from Rocket Juice & The Moon . Indeed Hey Shooter, a track featuring notorious R&B vocalist Erykah Badu , is the first fully-formed insight to emerge online and can be heard for the first time below. For reasons revolving around Badu's absence or otherwise, Hey Shooter was also neglected from [...]

Tweet For the first time in three years all four members of Blur were together on stage, this time to perform at The Brit Awards to commemorate their Outstanding Contribution To Music award. They played five songs in total, "This Is A Low" , "Tender" , and for the closing ceremony they did "Boys & Girls" , "Song 23 , and "Parklife" , joined onstage by the song's anchorman Phil Daniels.

As a fan of Brit Pop, Blur has always been on top of the genre. They just debuted a beautiful new song titled 'Under The Westway' at the War Child Charity gig on February 19th. Check out the live video below as you get to see Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon perform a new song for the first time since 2009. Also just announced is the band will perform the 2012 Olympic Closing Ceremony Celebration Concert at London's Hyde Park on August 12th, 2012. It is good to see the band back and set up for [...]

Por fin vemos a Damon y a Graham juntos de nuevo. Fuera de si nos gusta o no el resultado, la simple imagen de este par de amigos juntos enciende deja ver el futuro de una de las bandas base del britpop. En el marco del evento benéfico War Child, Albarn y Coxon aparecieron para tocar, entre sencillos de Blur como " He Thought Of Cars " y " Strange News From Another Star ", una nueva canción de la banda que, según Damon, "la escribieron en el camino" y "tiene muchas palabras" (a falta de una mejor [...]

A newly exfoliated and freshly invigorated Blur are set to perform at the Brit Awards tomorrow night, so here's our Damon and our Graham serenading the War Child benefit audience in London with a brand new Blur ballad titled 'Under The Westway', in preparation. As NME reports, Albarn introduces the track as one with "a lot of words", that "we wrote up the road a few weeks ago". Is it as brilliant as anything on Think Tank ? -James [...]

I used to walk or cycle, depending on the day or the weather or my mood, under the Westway everyday on my way to and from work when I lived in West London. So if you're unfamiliar with London and you're wondering what the Westway is, it's a 2.5-mile (4.0 km) long elevated dual carriageway section of the A40 route in west London running from Paddington to North Kensington. All that aside the song is rather good, and I'm now looking forward to hearing more new material soon, something with a bit more power would be nice, but [...]

via Stereogum At a Brit Awards War Child benefit show last night in London, Blur co-leaders Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon got together to debut a brand-new Blur song called “Under The Westway,” with Coxon on acoustic guitar and Albarn on vocals and piano. It’s a drawn-out Bowie-style ballad that sounds, at least on first listen, like something special, even if Albarn does rhyme “Hallelujah” with “sing it to ya.” New Blur songs are rare things, and a new Blur song that sounds like this is a big deal indeed. Below, watch a fan-made [...]

O Blur , em uma versão reduzida incluindo apenas Albarn e Coxon , se apresentou em concerto beneficente da ONG britânica War Child e aproveitou a oportunidade para revelar uma música inédita, a primeira desde o single Fool's Day , de 2010.
