- Last summer, as Blur were preparing for the biggest concerts of their career at Wembley Stadium, their guitarist was quietly getting on with a very different musical project.

“We weren’t just fitting it around Graham’s time with Blur,” says Rose Elinor Dougall, a former member of the Brighton girl group the Pipettes, a solo artist in her own right and mother to her and Graham Coxon’s two-year-old daughter, Eliza May. “We were also thinking about childcare.”
We’re in the cramped Islington offices of Transgressive Records, the label Coxon and Dougall signed to as the Waeve when they weren’t a couple at all, but just two people looking to work together. In December 2020, during that shadowy period when the lockdown eased enough to allow the return of low-key, socially distanced concerts, both were on the bill at the Jazz Café in Camden for a Lebanese Red Cross fundraiser.

I was so privileged to stand before this amazing band at Latitude not knowing who any of them were and was totally blown away by their performance.
I discovered Rose as a teenager through her work with Mark Ronson on his album Record Collection and adored her voice. I booked tickets to see Elbow earlier this year in Glasgow and then shortly after, The Waeve were announced as support. Had no idea who they were so had a look and was chuffed to see Rose’s name appear. I ended up enjoying their set just as much as Elbow’s and Rose’s voice filled the arena with haunting notes.
Great performance at Rough trade liverpool recently, Would recommend seeing them live, and of course buying their two albums, certainly have different sound going on to most indie/alternative bands
The mandolin is such a wonderful instrument. I love its sound.
Good music
Right on
Blur sucked, another crappy act from the 90s.
You dont see radiohead being this cringe.
You get back to listening to whatever drivel you class as music.Radiohead😂😂😂.....
Blur was for a good while the most popular band in England, a place with deep musical tradition and cultural feeling. This present project seems like drek, however.
What are you on about?.....both bands are totally different....they just feature the same guitarist....this music has nothing to do with Blur in any shape or form.
@@allenspann8990 I would ignore both of them - they really don't seem very bright.
