Blondie and The Doors playing on the same gig at The Melbourne
International Music Festival will be a world first.

Although members of both bands have known each other for years, this
will be the first time they have worked together. "I've known Ray
Manzerek for a long time" Blondie's Chris Stein tells Undercover News.
"We used to hang out in the old days. "Also Ian Astbury, I just to hang
out with him about 10 years ago. He's a good character".

While Blondie and the Doors have never played on the same show before,
some bright DJ in the UK came up with the idea of mixing two of their
songs together. "There was a mash-up of 'Rapture' and 'Riders on the
Storm'. That was really great" Chris says.

That track was called 'Rapture Riders'. It took The Doors 'Riders On
The Storm' and throws it at the dancefloor with Blondie's 'Rapture' in
an extended club dub mix. It became a hit in Australia and the UK.

The Doors and Blondie will perform Saturday, February 26 at the Myer
Music Bowl in Melbourne as part of the Melbourne International Music
Festival.
