Deadmau5 wants you
Musically inclined? Deadmau5 wants you to contribute to his next album. Think... [more]
to listen to their music now on 
Last month, we reported that three parts of New Order and one part of Blur were set to record together as Bad Lieutenant. Now the ‘supergroup’ has locked in a release date of 5 October for its debut album Never Cry Another Tear.
The record was made over a year in a studio on the outside Manchester. Intriguingly, vocal duties will be handled by the relatively unknown Jake Evans. This could be a very wise move – and a nerve-wracking one for the new man out front.
A statement from Bernard Sumner enthuses: “We’ve worked hard on it [the album] and I’m proud of it. It’s also important because it gives people the chance to hear a gifted new singer and guitar player who I think is really talented.”
It seems, though, that Alex James was more of a star guest than permanent player. In the band’s live line-up (yes, they’ll be touring), Manchester local Tom Chapman will play bass alongside seasoned players Sumner, Phil Cunningham and Stephen Morris.

Alex James made a wicked documentary on cocaine - went to columbia and followed it from the ground up... this album will no doubt be shit, but at least he can go back and make more films :D
