For the first time in eight years, Blur recently put on a live show at Colchester Arts Centre, and played a new song, “St. Charles Square.” According to Stereogum, the location of this live show is important to the group– Blur’s frontman, Damon Albarn, met Blur’s guitarist Graham Coxon in the town of Colchester, where they returned to put on last Friday’s show.

The show began with a debut of their new song, “St. Charles Square” from The Ballad Of Darren. The group additionally debuted live “The Narcissist” during the encore and “Villa Rosie” from Modern Life Is Rubbish. Read about The Ballad of Darren and “The Narcissist” here.
