If you’re a fan of Britpop of 70s British glam rock, pay
attention. There’s a new supergroup featuring members of Supergrass, The
Smiths, Roxy Music, and Suede. I’m not sure if this is going to become a full
time project, but a guy can dream. So far they’ve recorded three songs for some
British show called The Records. Phil Manzanera, Mike Joyce, Mat Osman and Gaz Coombes have released a song called “She’s a Queen,” and it sounds exactly like you want it
to. It’s extraordinarily Bowie-esque, but I will always approve of bands aping
on Bowie . It’s
not purely a Bowie
rip off and includes just enough of a Britpop sneer to have a fresher sound. I
have no idea what The Records is, but
let’s hope the show has a long, long run.
