live wongie: the good the bad and the queen

there's something really nice about damon albarn's (blur/the gorillaz) latest side project the good the bad and the queen.

made up of ex-members of the clash (paul simonon), verve (simon tong) and afrobeat drummer tony allen, the danger mouse produced album features strong, emotional (and adult) compositions that are miles away from the cheekiness of his other acts. as part of the album launch, the band recorded a live performance of the album in it's entirety for myspace. lucky for you, i've got some highlights of the concert here:


the good the bad and the queen - herculean (live at electric proms)
[the band's 1st single, moody and nicely atmospheric]


the good the bad and the queen - kingdom of doom (live at electric proms)
[really like this one, especially the ending]


the good the bad and the queen - 80's life (live at electric proms)
[love the doo wap 50's style of this song. can't wait to hear what it sounds like on the album]
