Scene and Heard
Presumably the Manchester band’s sets for June appearances in Cork and Dublin will contain plenty of material from The Take Off And Land Everything, due on Mar 3. Meanwhile, John Paul Jones, 68, of Led Zeppelin has formed a new band, Minibus Pimps, with Norwegian musician Deathprod.
NME reports that the busy bassist has also scotched rumours of a possible Zep reunion this year as he’s also writing an opera. Finally, the wonderful Q-Tip (right) is reportedly getting involved with pal Leonardo DiCaprio for a semi-autobiographical drama series based around his early days in the Native Tongues movement and his involvement with the likes of A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, the Jungle Brothers in what was arguably hip-hop’s high point.
