About Me |
|
Blur are an English rock band formed in Colchester in 1989. Originally named Seymour, the band are comprised of vocalist/keyboardist Damon Albarn, guitarist/vocalist Graham Coxon, bassist Alex James and drummer Dave Rowntree. The group became one of the biggest bands in the UK during the Britpop movement of the mid-1990s.Blur's original influences on their debut album, Leisure, included contemporary British alternative rock trends such as Madchester and shoegazing. Following a stylistic change in the mid-1990s, influenced by 1960s English pop groups such as The Kinks and The Beatles, the band released Modern Life is Rubbish, Parklife and The Great Escape. As a result, the band helped to popularise the Britpop genre and achieved mass popularity in the UK, aided by a famous chart battle with Britpop rivals Oasis.By the late 1990s, with the release of their fifth album, Blur, the band underwent another reinvention, influenced by the indie rock and lo-fi style of American bands such as Pavement and R.E.M., in the process gaining an elusive American success with the single "Song 2". The final album featuring the band's original lineup, 13, found Blur experimenting with electronica and gospel music.In 2002, founding member Graham Coxon left the band early in recording sessions for Think Tank, the band's seventh and latest album. Blur continued in his absence, seeing both the album and a tour through. After the end of their 2003 tour, the band were unofficially on hiatus, as band members were working on solo projects. In May 2007, it was announced that Blur will be returning to the studio in November with Graham Coxon, to attempt recording once more. Rumours began to emerge after the band only anounced having lunch together and Damon Albarn saying another album being unlikely that there won't be anotehr Blur album. Albarn himself has said various times that each member has grown and that the magic is gone.
