Burgess works with Klaxons, Horrors stars

Tim Burgess has confirmed plans for his new side projects.

Talking to DS, The Charlatans frontman revealed that he has been working with Joshua Hayward of The Horrors and Klaxons star Steffan Halperin.

Burgess said of his side-projects: "There's slow, slow work on a solo record - a Tim Burgess record. I've also been doing a collaboration record with my friend Steff, who's the drummer in the Klaxons and Josh, who's the guitarist in The Horrors - that's one band."

Of his work with The Libertines' Carl Barat and others as The Chavs, he added: "I think The Chavs have definitely got this mythical thing going on. They have existed and will exist again.

"I'm actually renting a flat in London at the moment and Carl's in the studio downstairs doing a solo album so I see him every minute. So you never know, I could do a gig with him tonight!"

Burgess said: "I've always got stuff going on. Recently I've been producing other people's records. I think it's really important for every band to have side projects. For me, working with other bands is great."

The Charlatans release 11th album Who We Touch on September 6 and support the record with a full UK tour the following month.
