Ex-Arctic Monkey reveals new band
Pete Doherty and MIA are among those who may feature on the forthcoming debut by Mongrel, a band led by former Arctic Monkey Andy Nicholson.
The group's other members include Reverend and the Makers' Jon McClure and Joe Moskow, Babyshambles guitarist Drew McConnell, London rapper Lowkey, and Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders. Nicholson left Arctic Monkeys in 2006.
McClure spilled the beans in an interview with Billboard, describing Mongrel's sound as a mixture of rock, dance and hip-hop. "I'm the singer, Lowkey raps and then we've got a few features from other people. We had Saul Williams come in and do a thing on it and hopefully MIA is going to do something and maybe Pete Doherty. It's got a good flavour," he said.
"We're producing it ourselves," McClure said, "and I've paid for it so far out of my own pocket because I believe in it. I'm excited about it because I think that it's an important record. We're saying things that nobody's really had the bollocks to say in the last eight years. We're really taking a few people to task, kind of like we're Public Enemy or something."
Recording is taking place at London's Deep Studios, with a release planned for late 2008.

Metronomy Launch Attack on Eavis, Glasto and Noel Gallagher
Metronomy slammed Michael Eavis for promising fine weather and revealed they don’t see what all the hype of Glastonbury festival is about.
The band want to hold Michael Eavis accountable for the unfortunate weather conditions.
Speaking to Gigwise about a radio interview where Eavis was quoted as saying there is wall to wall sunshine. Bass player Gabriel said: “It doesn’t matter because I’m having good time – but it’s such blatant lying.”
Oscar was singled out by the band for being a Glastonbury virgin, and a somewhat subdued Oscar quipped: “I haven’t seen any evidence that it’s so special. It sounds really harsh but maybe I will. We don’t want to be ungrateful. I am having a good time.”
Oasis’ Noel Gallagher was next on the agenda for disparaging comments as Joe contemplated the surrounding controversy of Jay-Z’s headline performance.
“What was Noel Gallagher thinking when he was talking about Glastonbury – did he not realise there were other stages.
“Someone like Noel Gallagher doesn’t understand what being a fucking huge r ‘n’ b star. Jay- Z probably had to say, it’s controversial, but he probable had to ask who Noel Gallagher was.”
Pondering the collaborations on stage with Jay-Z the band all agreed that “hopefully it won’t be Chris Martin dressed as Beyonce wiggling his arse.”
The band also took a cheeky pop at the Fun Loving Criminals laughing at their decline in status on the bill as well as Estelle for being more “Jazz lounge” as appose to “Jazz World.”
Following a discussion on what came first – the chicken or the kangaroo - the outfit offered some words of advice telling Gigwise that if you see a sign that looks fancy, chances are they’ve spent all the money on the sign. We will certainly keep that in mind.
Check back with Gigwise for all the gossip from the festival.
