Coxless Singles: Ex-Blur On Tour
Graham Coxon will tour the UK with a new band in May/June to coincide with the release of his fifth solo album “Happiness In Magazines” on Transcopic/Parlophone.
This continues an intensive period of activity for Graham which starts with the release of the limited edition numbered 7″ single 'Freakin' Out' on March 8. The single is Mark and Lard's single of the week this week and is on the A list at XFM.
A further single will be released before the release of the Stephen Street produced album in May. Street says; “I'm very excited. I think it¹s going to turn a few heads.” “I'm very pleased with it”, says Coxon. “It sounds like a lot of the music I've liked through my lifetime. I just thought of the album title last week; there was one daft working title called 'No More Mr Lo-Fi', but that was a giggle really”.
