Les & Will, together again

From the Bunnymen's twitter feed:

Les Pattinson has been playing bass on Will Sergeants new recordings.

Fuck yes!

Now let's get a new singer and we got ourselves a band!

No singer is fine too. Awesome news.

I'm down with that!! May I suggest "he has left the band"? Noel Burke?

The dude from Mercury Rev. David Baker?

Wasn't there a rumor a long time ago that Will was going to work with him? What the hell has David Baker even been doing since leaving Mercury Rev? That was a long time ago. That'd be cool if he worked with Will, Baker has a good voice. Mercury Rev was never the same after he left the band (even though I'm not sure he even helped write any of the songs).

Mark Burgess and John Lever (formerly of The Chameleons UK) would be a perfect match with Will & Les.

I don't really care who sings with Les and Will, but an assortment of vocalists would provide one hell of an album.

The songs on the the two albums he appeared on are credited to Mercury Rev plus their sound changed so drastically when he left he must have helped write the songs.

But I remember that rumor and had always hoped something would come of it. He's kind of out there like Will. I think it would work.

Baker is a studio engineer in Chicago and has produced for a bunch of bands I've never heard of.

When I read the subject of this thread I hear it in that movie preview trailer voice and then cut to a clip of Les and Will making wisecracks before running from some sort of explosion...

Yep I'm bored today

this is cool news! I would prefer if they kept it instrumental. Will's stuff needs no singer!!

by **black francis** » Fri Jul 02, 2010 6:46 pm

All this project is missing is a boy band producer.

I agree! however, I'd love to hear mark burgess (Chameleons UK) suggestion above... that would definitely be interesting :cool:

I'd also like them to play with The XX.

That'd be an interesting collaboration.

they do have a good beat track going. It's a little more interesting than Rock 1 or Rock 2
