What’s the exciting news? Well, Blur are set to debut two new songs live on Twitter via a worldwide live video stream at 3.15am Tuesday 3rd July Australian Eastern Standard Time. Filmed and streamed completely live from a secret UK location, the two new songs, Under The Westway and The Puritan, were written for the upcoming sold-out Hyde Park concert.
Damon Albarn said -“I wrote these songs for Hyde Park and I’m really excited about getting out there and playing them for people.”
Go to @blurofficial at 3:15am to hear the first track and an interview with the band, followed by the second track at 4:15am (AEST). Following the live stream, both songs will be available to download. A limited edition double-A 7-inch single will be released in the UK by Parlophone on 6th August.
