Damon Albarn has teamed up with Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea in a new band called Rocketjuice and the Moon. The new band, which also features Albarn's fellow Good, The Bad and The Queen member Tony Allen, are set to release a debut album in the new year and will debut material at London's Barbican venue on Saturday. "Someone in Lagos did the sleeve design and that's the name he gave it, which suits me because trying to find a name for another band is always tricky," explained Albarn.

Noel Gallagher has claimed "dance music sounds like a walk in the park now. Any fucker can do it - and quite frankly, every fucker is doing it" in an online video. "Dance music then, in its primitive form... I had a house in Ibiza for 12 years, and you could just feel the change one year. From nobody knowing what they were doing with these machines, to somebody mastering it and the machine makers making it easier for people to use," the former Oasis man complains. See for yourself below...
The pressures of touring are to blame for the Gallagher brothers' rift, according to Liam Gallagher's wife Nicole Appleton. "The pressure of everything builds up. It's never anything serious that you fight over. These wars get built up over nothing. All the travelling and everything else really sends you a bit mad," she explained. The former All Saints singer also insisted the fued has been blown out of proportion. "I've never really witnessed any [arguments] between Liam and Noel... maybe phone arguments." Is there hope for Oasis yet?
