Gruff Rhys and Boom Bip form Neon Neon
One is Welsh, one is not, but that hasn't stopped them collaborating again... Gruff Rhys and Boom Bip (aka Bryan Hollon, pictured) are working together on a new project called Neon Neon.
Rhys appeared on Boom Bip's Seed To Sun album back in 2002, and the pair are now working on new material. According to a MySpace bulletin from Hollon, songs should be available in early summer.
The duo have also enlisted the talents of a wealth of other acts, including Spank Rock, Har Mar Superstar and, um, The Magic Numbers. Them beardy boys, they rap, yo.
Possibly. Gruff Rhys releases his new album, Candylion, on Monday.

Do you reckon Gruff
may be at Cargo in APril with Boom Bip?
they did a track together
called Do's and Don'ts which is absolutely ace.
See,
from what i heard of that album i didn't think Dos And Don'ts was particularly good, whereas the collaboration with Nina Nastasia was magnificent.
i look forward to hearing Neon Neon stuff though.
