Bio:

Graham Leslie Coxon was born on March 12 1969 in a military hospital, Rintein, near Hanover in the old West Germany.renouned as the guitarist in britpop band blur during the 90's, graham embarked upon his successful solo career in 1998. Graham's new album A+E will be released on 2nd of april 2012 on parlophone and produced by ben hillier(think tank). Coxon describes the album as, "Improvisations, experiments in beats, rhythms. A chance to uninhibitedly make some sort of perversely sad, danceable and funny and despondent songs." Adding "I didn't want to get caught up in my usual struggle with trying to make things sound really posh. I didn't want lovely 60s-sounding drums and valves." In keeping with the album's themes, Graham will curate the bill on a special tour around the UK in April, where he'll invite his fans to nominate local bands to support him – he will then select his favourite for each venue (please go to www.nme.com / www.grahamcoxon.co.uk for further information). _______________________________________________________ http://forums.grahamcoxon.co.uk/ http://www.parlophone.co.uk/
