Blur man Alex James is play a solo gig at the Whitechapel Gallery on 31 Mar as part of the venue's fundraiser 'Art Plus Music'. As well as performing on his own he'll be joined by Betty Boo for a rendition of the pair's new single collaboration 'Wigwam'. See http://www.whitechapel.org.
Elsewhere in Alex James news, he's been saying that his bandmate Damon Albarn is both a cunt and a genius. Which may seem contradictory, but I can testify to the fact that people with genius are no less likely to be a cunt than those without. Anyway, here's what the man said, according to contactmusic: "I fucking like Gorillaz. I mean, obviously Damon's a cunt, but they're great. If Gorillaz were an undeserved success, that would be one thing. But it's great. He's worked so fucking hard on it. I mean, he's a genius."
