Muse Frontman Plans Collaboration with The Streets + Other Muse News

Muse frontman Matt Bellamy told BBC 6Music that he wants to collaborate with Mike Skinner of The Street but has yet to approach him with the plan. He said: I think we would like to do something with Mike Skinner," he said. "We haven't asked him yet, but we would like to do England's answer to Rage Against The Machine. Like London rap-rock, just like a little one-off. It might be a laugh!" He also talked about playing new material at the V Festival: “Yeah I think we would hope to play something new there – one or two things maybe. Whether that would be a single or not I don’t know but certainly we would like to try a couple of new tracks for the first time. We built a studio in Italy – we’ve also got a rehearsal place in Devon as well. We’re probably gonna kind of move between the two – do a little bit of music at home (Devon) where we first came from – and a bit of recording in Italy. Yeah looking forward to it really – I think it’ll be the chance to record ourselves and spend a bit more time experimenting. We’ll be able to explore some new directions that we probably wouldn’t normally have the time to do because normally you book a studio for two weeks and that’s all you got but now we’ve got a studio for like a year so it will be nice to have the freedom to kind of explore some new terrority.”
