Great news for all Britpop enthusiasts! It seems like Blur might be making a comeback with new music. The director of the Blur documentary, Toby L, believes that it's almost impossible for the band to resist reuniting for another album. After all, they have a strong bond and have been making music together for decades.
The band, consisting of lead singer Damon Albarn, guitarist Graham Coxon, bass player Alex James, and drummer Dave Rowntree, has had a successful career with 13 UK top 10 singles and seven number one albums. Fans were ecstatic when they released their ninth album, The Ballad of Darren, last year and even performed at Wembley Stadium.
Toby had the opportunity to work closely with the band during their comeback after an eight-year hiatus, and the documentary provides an intimate look into the lives and dynamics of these 90s icons. When asked about the possibility of this being their last performance, Toby said, "You'll have to speak to the band about that, but either way, it's a beautiful moment."
The film also explores how the band's relationships and dynamics have evolved over the years as they mature and pursue other projects. However, despite their individual endeavors, Toby believes that the band's "on and off" nature is what keeps them coming back for more. Each time they reunite, they bring new skills and perspectives from their other projects, making their music even more unique and fresh.
The documentary also sheds light on drummer Dave's involvement in politics, as he ran for Labour MP in Mid-Sussex in this year's General Election. Although he did not win, the film delves into his passion for politics and the UK's public services. Toby hinted that there may have been plans for Dave to run for MP even during the making of the film.
As a huge Blur fan himself, Toby found it surreal to be making a documentary about the band, especially after seeing them perform at Wembley when he was only 10 years old. He wanted to show a different side of the band and highlight the emotional aspects of their relationships and friendships. The film also explores the themes and social commentary in their music, which are still relevant in today's society.
Blur: To The End is set to release in cinemas on July 19 in the UK and Ireland. So mark your calendars and get ready to experience the fascinating journey of Blur's music and friendships.
