The musicians have recorded their first track, Black Ships On Auto, which is available for download via social networking website Myspace.com.

That took shape in November 2008 in Copenhagen, Denmark, where the band met for thefirst time to play and record new material straight away

Rossi writes on the site's blog, "After The Verve finished touring in August 2008, it was decided that something new should emerge... That took shape in November 2008 in Copenhagen, Denmark, where the band met for the first time to play and record new material straight away.

"It was then that Nick brought with him long time friend and collaborator Mig Schillace, to complete the rhythmic section and with it the core line-up of the band.

"Since then the boys have been and are still working on it! It's a slowprocess, which needs the care and time that it needs, but music fans outthere should expect some teasers real soon!" The band has yet to announce a schedule of live performances or recording plans.
