lucyleigh — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 10:55:08 +0000

Jake Shears from the Scissor Sisters is writing the music for the film of Fraggle Rock.

The classic 80′s show Fraggle rock featured puppets bursting into song at any given point for any reason – it is a cult show which is sorely missed. Having someone as hedonistic as Jake writing the music will surely bring the characters back to life.

According to the production companies involved ‘we can make music and integral part of the film; as important and as emotionally effective as the filmmaking’ no pressure there then Jake!

The Scissor Sisters are performing at Lovebox in July. Lovebox tickets and tour dates are available online.

One half of the bands singers, Ana Matronic, gossiped that the band would perform at least one new track: ”I’m hoping that we’ll actually be playing a new song that people have not heard at all,”

Jake Shears, the other half of the bands vocals has been working away on his musical and so Ana & the band have been doing the new album without him: ”Jake is out in San Francisco finishing up work on his musical which debuts in just a few weeks. We’re writing without him and he’s going to come back in June and then we are all going to work together and try and put out a new album.”

As ever with the Scissor Sisters, we were left guessing, when Ana hinted that another act may join them on stage for a “collaboration between us and another that is playing that day. We will leave the surprise for July.” owwwwwwww.

Snoop Dogg is headlining along with The Wombats. Lovebox tickets and tour dates are available online.
