Fucked Up To Cover "Do They Know It's Christmas?"

Posted by Michael on November 6, 2009

Fucked Up are currently working on a cover of the classic holiday song "Do They Know it's Christmas?" to raise money for a number of different organizations.  In a recent interview, the band's frontman, Damian Abraham, spoke at length about the project.  According to Abraham, artists set to contribute include:

David Cross, members of Vampire Weekend, TV on the Radio, Broken Social Scene, the GZA, Bob Mould, No Age, and Yo La Tengo are all confirmed. I’m still waiting on confirmation from Feist, Jarvis Cocker, and M.I.A. We wanted the biggest people we could get. If we could get a Jonas Brother on this, I would get a Jonas Brother... if Bono wanted to be on the record, I’d say yes, because, at the end of the day, it’s about raising money and awareness. As terrible as I find his music and as reprehensible as I find him as a person, I would definitely have him on.
