blur à nouveau réunis début 2011 ?

well then. what seems to have happened is that side projects become main projects with just as much or even more pressure than the main band (blur)... its gone inside out...our individual explorations become heavy... commercial pressure etc....this leaves blur now almost like it was originally... a thing of fun and experiment...something to return to when havin an urge...so... january will be neat!

"something to return to when havin an urge"

This leaves blur now almost like it was originally... a thing of fun and experiment...

Blur’s Dave Rowntree has said the band will “definitely” do something together again this year.

In an exclusive interview with Gigwise, the drummer said he and his bandmates had been discussing ideas “a lot” over recent weeks.

But he said they had yet to decide whether to record another one-off single like 2010’s ‘Fools Day’, or a full album.

“Who knows that it’s going to end up like,” he said. “What I do know is that we don’t want to commit ourselves to anything vast at the moment.

“We’re dipping our toes in the water, which is why we did the ‘Fool’s Day’ single in the way we did.”

Calls for Blur to release a new studio album, which would be their first since 2003’s ‘Think Tank’, have intensified since guitarist Graham Coxon rejoined the group for a series of gigs in 2009.

In December, singer Damon Albarn revealed that plans were in place to for the band to enter the studio this month.

Rowntree said the group had yet to record any music, but confirmed they were talking and “trying to put something in place”.

“We’ve got all our mates back and that’s the main thing. That’s the one thing we don’t want to lose,” he said.

“So yes, this year I would say something is definitely going to happen. Quite when, I don’t know, and quite what I don’t know – but yes, we’re all back together again and great mates."

Dave Rowntree is a representative of the Featured Artists Coalition, a group with over 1,500 artists and supporters who collectively campaign for the protection of UK performers' and musicians' rights.

Check back later for a full interview with Rowntree about the role of the FAC in helping up and coming bands.

Blur look to be a step closer to recording new material – Graham Coxon has tweeted that they're meeting up today (February 3).

The guitarist, writing on his Twitter page, Twitter.com/grahamcoxon, wrote that the four-piece were getting together for a hot drink and could end up recording.

"Now off to see the Blur boys and have coffee and maybe switch a tape recorder on!" he wrote.

When asked for more details he added: "We are having a meet-up, might get a guitar out."

Last November Blur frontman Damon Albarn told NME that the band planned to reconvene in early 2011, but that firm plans were not locked down.

The band last released a single, 'Fool's Day', in April 2010 as a limited-edition vinyl one-off for Record Store Day. Their last gig was headlining T In The Park in Scotland in July 2009.

c'est ce qu'on peut lire dans le NME qui sort aujourd'hui en Angleterre. Apparemment y'a une double page consacrée au groupe.
YEH!
