In a brilliant moment of pop / tv crossover, Fascination Records (home of GA & The Saturdays) have signed up Hollyoaks very own band, the Dirty Diegos to release a single at the end of November. Now I love Hollyoaks and love Fascination, so to me this is hilarious but brilliant news.
They're treating them totally in character and the promo cd reads, "The Dirty Diegos are a local band from the Chester suburbs. They met at Hollyoaks High where they are all currently studying. The band first started life as the baby Diegos with Amy as the lead vocalist but she stepped down when she gave birth to Leah. etc etc" Brilliant.
Of course, you would expect the song to be properly rubbish. But it's not. Instead it's a fierce 2.36 of Michaela McQueen actually on vocals sounding pretty hot. It's originally a song by Dimestars, a short lived band in the early 2000s fronted by Roxanne Wilde (sister of Kim) and featuring Morgan who's now in DoesIt Offend You Yeah. It's snarly, snazzy and I'd be able to play it pretty much immediately main set at Popstarz and get people dancing with them having no idea what it is. Just listen to that middle eight.
Fascination are, however, RUBBISH because they won't let me embed the video. I don't understand when people do that on youtube, so lose your prejudices and go watch it here. The single is out on November 24.
Here's the original:

ReplyDeleteThis is a brilliant blurring of reality and fiction in the way that great soaps do (bad girls/corrie, to give but one example) and is perhaps even a little bit Thursday Next, if you get my drift. Anyways, it is a genuinely aces popsong that tragically achieved precisely shitfuckall :(
