Did you – like us – wonder why Beyonce’s sister Solange Knowles joined the Summadayze lineup in Melbourne at the eleventh hour last week? She’ll also appear this weekend at Summafieldayze on the Gold Coast. Perhaps it passed you by, but just in case you’d been speculating, it seems the answer has been uncovered.
The chaps over at Pedestrian seem to have kept a close eye on Solange’s Twitter feed ever since speaking with local band the Midnight Juggernauts in 2009. The Juggernauts’ drummer Daniel Stricker told them of their intentions to collaborate with Solange at some point in the near future.
It seems that point is now, with Solange arriving in Australia just in time to guest with the band at the Falls Festival on December 30th, before backing up at Summadayze on January 1st. in the days since, she’s also been Tweeting about the time they’ve spent together in the studio.
It’s certainly an odd pairing, but as Pedestrian point out Solange has proved her indie cred thus far having covered the Dirty Projectors and featuring on Of Montreal’s new album. Maybe she can put her sister in touch with The Presets to continue the pan pacific love-in?
