Chumbawamba tell New Zealand Deputy Prime Minister to stop using ‘Tubthumping’ at rallies

Chumbawamba have told New Zealand Deputy Prime Minister to stop using their track ‘Tubthumping’ at rallies.Last weekend (March 17), New Zealand’s deputy prime minister Winston Peters –who leads the right-wing New Zealand First party which is part of the country’s coalition government – walked on stage to the British group’s 1997 hit song before giving his controversial “state of the nation” address.Per BBC, Peters reportedly discussed plans to remove gender and sexuality lessons from the school curriculum and said that NZ First and their supporters have a “real chance to take back our country”. He also used ‘Tubthumping’s song’s lyrics at the end of the address, telling the audience “we got knocked down, but we got up again.”“Chumbawamba wrote the song Tubthumping as a song of hope and positivity, so it seems entirely odd that the ‘I get knocked down…’ refrain is being used by New Zealand’s Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters as he barks his divisive, small-minded, bigoted policies during his recent speeches,” said the band’s former lead guitarist Boff Whalley in a statement sent to BBC News.He continued: “Chumbawamba would like to make it clear that we did not give permission for Peters to use the song and would ask him to stop using it to try to shore up his misguided political views.“Chumbawamba does not share any of Peters’ ideas on race relations and would like to remind him that the song was written for and about ordinary people and their resilience.

Oasis are set to celebrate the 30th anniversary of ‘Supersonic’ by re-releasing the track as a physical single.The track was initially released on April 11, 1994, and was the debut single from the Britpop icons – later appearing on their now iconic first studio album ‘Definitely Maybe’.Although going on to be one of the most successful songs in their discography, the song was originally based as a demo and was reportedly written by Noel Gallagher in the studio, while the other members were on a lunch break.It was recorded in a single day at the Pink Museum Studio in Liverpool on December 19, 1993, and produced by Oasis with their live sound engineer, Mark Coyle.Now, 30 years after it was first shared, Liam Gallagher has confirmed that the band will be re-sharing it as a physical release.“To celebrate 30 years of Supersonic, the original CD single and a limited edition pearl-coloured and numbered 7” release on April 12th, 2024,” he wrote in a new post on Instagram this morning (March 20).Alongside the debut single, the physical copies will feature ‘Take Me Away’ – a track which also appeared as a B-Side to ‘Supersonic’ when it was first released.

Royal Trux guitarist Neil Hagerty have been dropped, after he completed a year of mental health treatment.As reported by The Denver Post, the prosecutors at the city’s District Attorney’s Office have dropped charges relating to an alleged attack on three police officers.Last April, Hagerty was arrested in Denver, Colorado for allegedly assaulting three officers who had been responding to a welfare check.The incident occurred on the 600 block of North Pennsylvania Street in the city. The responding officer was responding to the person who made the call when Hagerty reportedly came out of the building and attacked the officer, allegedly using the pin from the officer’s badge to create a six-inch laceration on the officer’s neck.Two other officers then arrived at the scene as back-up, at which point Hagerty was said to have “remained combative”, injured them and attempted to disarm them.

Yungblud responds to online spat with The 1975’s Matty Healy: “It’s all fucking entertainment”

Yungblud has spoken to NME about his online spat with The 1975 frontman Matty Healy, saying that he found it “quite funny” and branding it as “all fucking entertainment”.The pair came to blows last year when Healy received criticism online for his appearance on The Adam Friedland Show podcast, during which the frontman said he believed Harry Styles “gets a pass” on criticism over alleged “queer-baiting” and discussed New York rapper Ice Spice‘s heritage – debating whether she has Hawaiian, Inuit or Chinese heritage and impersonating the accents of those countries and regions.Healy later apologised to Ice Spice over the comments, as well as all the other people he “hurt” while playing the “character role of 21st Century rock star”.At the time of the podcast, Yungblud penned a now-viral Tweet in which he took aim at Healy and the hosts, writing: “Love listening to three privileged white dudes sit around and objectify a young black female artist who’s blowing up. Welcome to your 30’s I guess.”love listening to three privileged white dudes sit around and objectify a young black female artist who’s blowing up.
