是NME上的一個新聞~很前幾天ㄉ~@@沒空寫成中文 大家自己看看喔~^^
(有點長~不過不會難吧~:P~~~)
AT LES have renamed themselves FAT LES 2000 and will
release a new single to coincide with the Euro 2000 football
championships this summer.
The track is a cover of the hymn 'Jerusalem', which according
to Fat Les' Keith Allen, will go to number one, and remain
there "for the duration of our run in Euro 2000!".
The track, which features lyrics by poet and artist William
Blake is Fat Les' most ambitious project to date featuring a
sixty piece orchestra and three choirs, as well as the usual Fat
Les band members including Keith Allen, Blur's Alex James
and artist Damien Hirst.
Allen told NME his reasons for picking the track to
accompany the Euro 2000 Championships. He said: "It's a
continuation of 'Vindaloo' really. It's a great hymn, and a great
anthem.
"Also, it's an opportunity to take the song back. It has always
been perceived as belonging to the right, but there is
absolutely no reason why it shouldn't belong to everybody
and everybody should be proud of it because it is a great piece
of work."
Allen is to direct the video for the single which is to be filmed
in the studio while the band are recording the track with the
choirs and orchestra.
Drapes will project images of England behind the band.
Allen said: "We're going to shoot it in the studio like Live Aid
but we're going to have screens in there and project images.
I'm going to have the Poll Tax riots, England winning the
World Cup in 1966, you know, pictures that kind of create a
kind of image of England."
When asked if the track was set to go straight to the top of the
charts in a similar fashion to 'Vindaloo' in the 1998 football
World Cup, Allen joked:
"(It's a number one) without a shadow of a doubt! It's the
people's choice for fuck's sake!"
No firm release date has been fixed for the track although
Allen wants the single to be released well in time for the start
of England's Euro 2000 campaign in June.
