The Go! Team want Kevin Shields The dance outfit look to the guitarist for second album The Go! Team are planning to rope in
My Bloody Valentine founder
Kevin Shields to help produce their second album.
Shields has already worked on a remix of the
Brighton collective's songs
'Huddle Formation' and
'Ladyflash'.
Now
The Go! Team leader
Tim Parton wants to bring the
My Bloody Valentine man on board for the follow up to
'Thunder, Lightning, Strike'.
"He's been bigging us up for a while which is pretty amazing because since I was a kid, even in sixth form bands, I was trying to get them chords going like him,"
Parton told
NME.COM.
"We're looking to get him onboard in some capacity. I'll probably just send him the album and say, 'What do you think? What are you gonna do on that?' and he'll come in and make some noise, get his tremolo arm out and rip it up like that. He always said he wanted to do a garage version of
The Jackson 5, and he saw that in us."
The band are hoping to start recording their second album, which is scheduled for release next spring/summer, in their hometown next month.
They are also planning to release a completely new single -
'Do It Right' in the coming months.
Parton added: "In its current form I'm a bit worried that it's a bit too poppy. It's the catchiest thing I've ever written and as soon as I wrote it, I thought, "****! Did I write that?". We'll see if we can give it
The Go! Team treatment and make it noisy enough to put out there."
The dance outfit, who recently completed a series of dates in the UK with The Flaming Lips, have also signed up to join
Wayne Coyne and co for further dates during their American jaunt in July, including a one-off date at the legendary
Red Rocks Amphitheatre where
U2 recorded
'Under A Blood Red Sky'.
The Go!Team have already proven to be a big hit in the States, attracting interest from the likes of
'The Simpsons' screenwriters and Hollywood actor
Dennis Hopper.
Parton admitted that he is keen for the band make a cartoon appearance in the animated series which has already seen cameos from the likes of
U2 and
REM.
He added: "It would be a dream to appear on it (
'The Simpsons'). It'd be stunning. We were angling for that totally when we met the writers. We even got the character who plays
Homer (
Dan Castellaneta) to say
'Go Team' on
Ninja's video camera."
