Former Clash bassist Paul Simonon has been talking about how he got involved with Damon Albarn's previously reported new project, The Good, The Bad And The Queen. Simonon explained: "I came down to listen to two tracks, and I could hear a bassline for it immediately. We thought let's give it a go and we basically started from that and we started a whole new record."
Albarn has apparently been working on the new Dangermouse produced album, out in January, for the past two years. Also involved in the project are sometime Blur guitarist Simon Tong and Fela Kuti drummer Tony Allen.
