Verve, Goldfrapp Members Form New Band

Members of The Verve and Goldfrapp have formed a new band, under the name of 'The Black Ships'.
The collective boasts Verve guitarist Nick McCabe and bassist Simon Jones, along with Davide Rossi (violinist with Goldfrapp) and Mig Schillace on drums.
So far one song has been made available called 'Black Ships On Auto' - head over to the Black Ships MySpace to hear it now.
Davide Rossi explained how the band formed, writing on their site: "After The Verve finished touring in August 2008, it was decided that something new should emerge from such a meeting."
"That took shape in November 2008 in Copenhagen, Denmark, where the band met for the first time to play and record new material straight away."
"It was then that Nick brought with him long time friend and collaborator Mig Schillace, to complete the rhythmic section and with it the core line-up of the band."
"It's a slow process, which needs the care and time that it needs, but music fans out there should expect some teasers real soon!"
It's though 2010 will see The Black Ships release their debut album.
