The Good, the Bad and the Queen - Kingdom Of Doom

After Gorillaz Demon Days, Blur frontman Damon Albarn startted to work on a  new album and new project. Initially reported as a solo album by Albarn with Danger Mouse producing, NME revealed in late July 2006 that the solo project was switched to a new group formed by Albarn.
The group, which consists of Albarn, The Clash's bassist Paul Simonon, former The Verve guitarist Simon Tong (who also played guitar during Blur's Think Tank tour following Graham Coxon's departure, and played guitar for Gorillaz on their Demon Days album) and Afrobeat pioneer and Africa 70 drummer Tony Allen, released and deleted their first single, "Herculean" on 30 October 2006 (see 2006 in British music). The single followed the band's appearance at the BBC's Electric Proms season at the redeveloped The Roundhouse in Camden on 26 October, in which they performed the entirety of the album.[1] Three warm-up gigs in East Prawle at the Pig's Nose Inn,Ilfracombes Marlboro Club and The Exeter Cavern Club preceded the Electric Proms gig. The second major gig of the band's career took place on 12th December 2006, at Wilton's Music Hall in East London. It was witnessed by 300 specially selected fans, as the launch gig of MySpace's The List. The band released a second single, "Kingdom of Doom", a week prior to the release of their debut album, The Good, the Bad and the Queen on January 22nd 2007.The album was produced by Danger Mouse, and features songs about London.
