Blur may record a new album in Hong Kong this week, according to Damon Albarn.
The band were playing a date at Hong Kong's AsiaWorld-Expo last night, which was originally due to be followed by some postponed dates in Japan. Faced with a week to kill in Hong Kong, Damon Albarn teased that they may use the time to lay down some new material.
Speaking to the crowd, Albarn said: "So we have a week in Hong Kong, and we thought it would be a good time to try and record another record." Scroll down to watch a clip.
