The band will be making history when Myspace broadcasts their first worldwide show online with the recorded concert streaming on The List (www.myspace.com/thelist) from the 18th of December.

Myspace will be launching their new The List event in the UK where fans who are lucky enough, will be able to attend the special Christmas performance by The Good, The Bad And The Queen on December 12th at Wilton’s Music Hall in east London.

This is a fan only event and to be in on winning one of the 300 tickets available for the live show in London, fans have to be a The Good, The Bad And The Queen Myspace friend and then answer the question that is asked on the form, along with including their email address and mobile phone number. If fans win tickets, they’re then asked to “Dress up in your best Christmas gear, buy some mince pies and come on down!”.

After weeks of build up though, I’m not quite sure how I feel about Gorillaz and Blur frontman Damon Albarn’s new project The Good The Band and The Queen which features Paul Simonon (The Clash) on bass, ex-verve guitarist Simon Tong and drummer Tony Allen from Fela Kuti.

To finally be able to see Paul Simonon playing bass with a new band was exciting to say the least, however, I was hoping to hear more of an edge to the music especially with a name like The Good The Bad and The Queen. I could be more harsh with my opinion on this, but have decided to just leave links here for readers and listeners to make up their own minds. After all, maybe it was the hype that left me with high expectations and am now feeling quite let down.

Oh well. Maybe in time I’ll grow to like it more, will have to wait and see.
