No More Whitey?



Paul Weller's drummer, Steve White, has told fans on his website that he won't be on the road with Weller for the foreseeable future.

From whiteydrums.com:

With regards to PW what is the score with the new album? How much have you heard? Is it any good and will you be part of his live band?

"Paul, I believe is well into recording, as regards touring, I don't know what he has up his sleeve, but at this point i am not planning to be on the road in the foreseable future, if it changes i will drop a line in the news page.To be honest
i've got a number of other fairly big commitements looming anyway".

As he passes the half-century mark, Weller easily could have returned to his old stomping grounds, whether it was the mod-punk of his first band the Jam or the pop leanings of the Style Council. But rather than reliving past glory, Weller spent the last year recording 22 Dreams, the most expansive and experimental album of his career. “I was conscious when I walked into the studio that I wanted to do something different. I didn’t want to make As Is Now Part 2,” Weller tells Rock Daily. “There was this mentality where it was like, ‘Let’s try anything that comes into your mind.’” Weller sequestered himself in his country studio, recruited some famous Britpop friends like Oasis‘ Noel Gallagher and Blur’s Graham Coxon and spent hours improvising with his band.
