Watch TGTB&TQ's Electric Proms Performance
Damon Albarn brought his mega-supergroup to Camden's Roundhouse last night for the band's formal debut (after a round of club tune-ups), and BBC was on hand for full documentation. The setlist, as Damon notes, is the The Good, The Bad And The Queen's self-titled debut sequentially and in its entirety. Watch the whole show here (and here's the audio if that's better for ya).
From what we saw and heard, it's encouragingly more diverse than suggested by (the admittedly killer) "Herculean"'s Gorillaz-apeing. The BBC loved the gig, saying, "The band finish on a high with 'TGTBQ' and the audience leave in the knowledge that they've witnessed something quite magical." Here's the set/tracklist:
Aside from an off-beat Simonon bass note during the building ride-out of "Herculean," it's a polished performance, but do you think they're up to the hype? We love Damon, but the set seemed a little sleeeeeeeepy.History Song

yea. watched it this morning, gotta say, i was hoping for something a bit more energetic from this group. pretty meh, and for the most part sounds like it might as well be an Albarn solo thing. not bad, but not exciting either.

Beck at the Knitting factory last night was decidedly unsleepy

What's with the new delayed postings? Totally kills the flow and immediacy. Stereogum's new bosses already f*cking things up...?

We know! Our spam filter has been acting up the past few days. We're making corrections and trying to get 'em sorted. If you've noticed a dearth of comments recently, that's why -- but they're showing up now. Slowly. Sorry!

It's good, but not great. I just wish Albarn would get together with the other dudes from Blur again. Guess that will never happen?
