"The Drums have revealed plans to work with former Shangri-Las lead singer Mary Weiss. Frontman Jonathan Pierce told Spinner that he had contacted the lead singer of the acclaimed 1960s girl group, whose hits included &amp;#039;Leader Of The Pack&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;Remember (Walkin&amp;#039; In The Sand)&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;Past, Present and Future&amp;#039;. Pierce said: &amp;quot;A friend and I had this idea to write an album with her, so we tracked her down. Turns out she still lives in New York. &amp;quot;We haven&amp;#039;t met her yet, but we&amp;#039;ve spoken on the phone. She seems really excited about it. It&amp;#039;s a really cool thing.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;We try to write simple, classic pop melodies. That&amp;#039;s what those &amp;#039;60s girl groups did so well, so it makes sense. This is the thing that I&amp;#039;m most excited about.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
