the Good, the Bad, in the Queen is a new band that was formed over the past year in England, however, all four members are prominent in their own right...
The singer/writer/keyboardist is Damon Albarn who many are familiar w/his works w/Blur, the Gorillaz, and all his other side/solo projects he's embarked on.... Their bassist is Paul Simonon..who which many of you recall along with Topper Hedron were the rhythm section of the Clash...Guitarist is Simon Tong who played on the latter Verve albums (especially on the stand-out '97 release "Urban Hymns")... Legendary drummer Tony Allen who's known for being a member of Fela Kuti's (the Nigerian answer to Bob Marley) band.....

There are several performances of them on youtube and I'll add those later.... Originally it was supposed to be just a Damon Albarn solo album, but they are realized how much awesome synergy together, that decided to record a full-length album.... Unfortunately, on some of the tracks.. all their true talents dont fully show due to some of Albarn's urging, but it's still a remarkable release and definitely worth picking-up a copy.. Should be an interesting year for them and hope that '07 ends w/Blur and Coxon back in the studio, but I must now rejoice in the Good, the Bad, and the Queen for now...
