Ex-Supergrass frontman Gaz Coombes has confessed that he doesn’t miss being in a band at all – and that’s finally making the music he wants to make as a solo artist.
Coombes has since turned to making music on his own according since the split of his former band Supergrass back in 2010, and is seemingly enjoying himself a lot more than when he was teamed up with his brother Rob, Mick Quinn and Danny Geoffrey.
With his debut solo album ‘Here Come the Bombs’ out on May 21st and single ‘Hot Fruit’ preceding it by a week, Gaz told NME that he couldn’t wait for their release – and that he really ‘doesn’t want to be in a band’.
“With my solo album I'm making the kind of music I want to make. I don't have to have a discussion with a bandmate where I'm trying to convince them of the direction I want to go in. Right now I don't want to to be in a band or anything like a band.
“I get a bit anxious because of my experiences. I don't want to sound negative, because it was great to spend 18 years in a band with guys I love. But I'm happy doing what I'm doing now.”
