CSS In Shock Take That Collaboration

added 28 August 2008 at 11.35

Indie snobs: Look away from the screen now. Brazilian electro-popsters CSS have told Xfm of their plan to collaborate with Take That, following use of a stage show inspired by the Spice Girls.

Speaking to Katie P at last weekend’s Reading Festival, they happily let slip their set was entirely influenced by the Spice Girls, making use of confetti canons borrowed from “close friend” Mel B.

They declared: “We have the Spice Girls’ confetti. We got to hook up with them, and Mel B was kind enough to lend us her confetti cans from her mansion in Primrose Hill in front of the zoo. She hangs out with the lions sometimes.”

Yet the shameful lack of indie snobbery didn’t stop there. They went on to reveal they’ll return next summer, only with Take That and Robbie Williams by their side.

Though drummer Adriano Ferreira Cintra wouldn’t give much away. “For next year, we spoke to them (Take That). Robbie Williams. Bestival. Shhhh.”
