Supergroup News?

Over the last couple years rumors have been floating around about an Evan Dando, James Iha, Ryan Adams and Melissa Auf Der Maur supergroup called The Fucking Virgins. Recently speaking with ChartAttack.com, Auf Der Maur said of the Virgins, "I hope to do it. I’ll probably have to be the ring leader to bring us together and do it at some point..."

"We had this really amazing structure about how we’d bring the material in and everything would have to be written just in the studio and it would just be this really good, fun project," she says. "I imagine it would be somewhere between The Velvet Underground and the dreamy, trippy world of Spaceman 3 kind of thing, mixed with a bunch of schizophrenic people."

She continued: "Jesus, we had it all lined up there a few years ago," she says. "We had 10 days booked out in James Iha’s studio ready to go and then Gold hit it all big and Ryan disappeared for two years. And now I’m busy and James is busy in A Perfect Circle. I have a vision; I can hear that record in my head. What me, James, Ryan and Evan could do would be amazing — especially as a one-off thing with no commitments, no heavy duty anything other than just in the studio. Oh, my God."

If anyone can make this happen, it's Auf Der Maur, the woman who managed to wrangle in Nick Oliveri, Josh Homme, Eric Erlandson, Jordan Zadorozny and host of other stars for her solo project.

"I really hope I can do it. I’ll get those boys together and do it. They’re all flighty and off in their other worlds for now, but once I get off my Auf Der Maur tour, I will summon them."
