Primal Scream frontman Bobby Gillespie has unveiled a one-off collaboration covers band featuring members of the Sex Pistols and The Who.
Called Silver Machine, the band have been announced to perform a special covers show at London’s 1234 festival in Shoreditch on July 24.
Sex Pistols bassist Glen Matlock, The Who and former Oasis sticksman Zak Starkey, plus Primal Scream guitarists Andrew Innes and Little Barrie‘s Barrie Cadogan will also take part.
The band are set to perform a collection of their favourite songs by band’s including The Creation, The Flamin’ Groovies, The Chocolate Watch Band, The Troggs and MC5.
“We’re great and we can’t wait,” declared frontman Bobby Gillespie.
Festival director Sean McLusky added: “We did a show at the Whitechapel Gallery with S.C.U.M and a bunch of other artists, Bobby was playing and rocked ‘Wild Thing’ by The Troggs with Jamie Hince from The Kills, so I asked him if he would do more of the same at the festival, so now we have….The Silver Machine.”
