The trio will debut material from the album during a performance in Ireland this weekend, where they’ll be joined by 25 other musicians as part of a collective called Honest Jon’s Chop Up. Other members of the collective include the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, the Sun Ra Arkestra trumpet player Phil Cohran, the Malian singer Fatoumata Diawara, the house producer Theo Parrish, and the South African hip-hop crew M.Anifest.
Albarn also plans to tour with Honest Jon’s Chop, explaining, “The rehearsals feel good, exciting. The plan is simple, really – to make some music, some interesting sounds. We’ve interesting people playing from all over the place.”
As of now, there is no release date for Rocketjuice and The Moon, nor any tour dates confirmed outside of this weekend’s performance. So, stay tuned.
