| | After two years, Blur are back with their new album 13 (not for being unlucky we hope, but for the number of songs on the album). | | | Damon Albarn (vocals), Alex James (bass), Graham Coxon (guitar), and Dave Rowntree (drummer) are always good for a surprise. | | | They’ve gone from being a rather boring rave band when they formed in college in the late ’80s, to practically inventing Britpop in 1993 with the album Modern Life Is Rubbish (named after graffiti on a London establishment). |

Co-created with two other London-based collaborators, the program will premiere April 18 on music video channel Fuse. | | | "I guess being a drummer, you get used to being in the back of the stage," said Rowntree, who studied art and animation in college and runs the London-based animation company Nanomation. |

| | While a student at Goldsmith University, he again crossed paths with guitarist Coxon, and together they formed the band the Circus; with the additions of bassist Alex James and drummer Dave Rowntree, the group rechristened itself Seymour before finally settling on Blur upon signing to Food Records. | | | With 1994's Parklife, Albarn's songs revealed an altogether new sophistication, his wry social commentaries and clever melodies evoking the great British pop tradition of bands like the Kinks and the Jam; the album made Blur the most popular and most influential band in England and captured a rabid cult following abroad as well. | | | The frontman for Brit-pop icons Blur, singer Damon Albarn was born March 23, 1968, in London. |
