Elizabeth Fraser Comes Back
Cocteau Twins vocalist Elizabeth Fraser had created the ‘super band,’ said NME. This cool project is going to be called The Hookham Boys, which should include a lot of musicians who have once worked together with Massive Attack, Spiritualized, post-punk group Echo And The Bunnymen, and the British electronic band Goldfrapp. Particularly, Fraser’s new band shall incorporate the following list of musicians: Damon Reece, Alex Lee (Placebo, Suede and Goldfrapp), Sean Cook, Joe Allen from Strangelove, and Jake Brockman. The first concert where The Hookham Boys shall perform is going to take place today (November 26) in London. Money that will be earned from this event should go to the charity organization called the Teenage Cancer Trust.
A lot of fans see this project as the revival of The Cocteau Twins, or another page in the life story of Elizabeth Fraser. This band fell apart back in 1997 after the release of their last album, “Milk and Kisses” (1996). In 2007 Twins’ began to work with the new studio material spreading rumours about the upcoming release. In October 2008 Cocteau Twins have appeared at Q Awards ceremony receiving the Inspiration Award. So far everything sounds very promising, and lets hope that Fraser will keep on going with The Hookham Boys.
