In what could be the most intriguing combo since Jagger and Bowie teamed up, MGMT’s Andrew VanWyngarden and Of Montreal’s Kevin Barnes have announced that they’re working on a side-project called Blikk Fang. Starting as a bit of a laugh, Blikk Fang has now developed into something of a prospect for 2009.
“Me and Andrew VanWyngarden from MGMT have a project together I really want to get off the ground in 2009,” Barnes told Rolling Stone. “The stuff we’ve done so far is sort of a soulful prog.”
With “about 20 minutes of music” in the bag, barnes says that the duo are looking to recruit sought-after producer Jon Brion for some studio time. "We’ve both been travelling like crazy so it’s hard to get together. It’s kind of fun because that stuff we did months and months ago and when we get together again, we’ll have different ideas that we’re excited about… It’s probably gonna be a pretty schizophrenic, crazy album.”
Of Montreal is of course bringing its hyped-up live show here for Golden Plains in 2009, while MGMT has just said bon voyage to Australia after a round of sold out shows and Meredith Music Festival. We here at Music Universe, can't imagine what sounds are going to be coming out from this band, but we can assue you that it will be the most warped album of 2009.
Here's Andrew (MGMT) getting together with Kevin (Of Montreal) to perform a cover of Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' at a recent concert (10/10).
imagine seeing the two of them together. not only that, but performing Nirvana's Smells like teen Spirit together. It would make Kurt proud.
