Stupidchief Performs Blur Live at New Cross Inn in London
In November 2016, when Blur performed at the New Cross Inn in London, they were riding the wave of their album *The Magic Whip* released in 2015. This record marked their first return to the studio in over a decade and showcased a fresh, experimental sound that blended elements of their Britpop roots with a musical maturity shaped by years of artistic evolution. Interestingly, *The Magic Whip* was inspired by their creative process during an unexpected break in Hong Kong, giving it a distinct vibe and narrative. The live performance captured in the video reflects the band's energetic presence that night, underscoring their ability to engage audiences even after years away from the limelight. With hit songs from various points in their career still part of their setlist, the show served as a beautiful reminder of Blur's enduring legacy and adaptability in an ever-changing music scene.
