Scissor Sisters to score Fraggle Rock movie

by Alicia Condarcuri

Always equal parts fun, surprising, and provocative, the Scissor Sisters have been chosen to produce music for the upcoming movie rendition of the classic ’80s television show, Fraggle Rock(!).

Music Week reports that after after signing an agreement with the band’s record company, Spirit Music, and the Jim Henson Company, frontman Jake Shears and guitarist Babydaddy have been selected to score the film. The agreement is a collaboration between production, record and publishing companies,  with the Jim Henson Company taking on production rights for Fraggle Rock as well as the Scissor Sisters’ entire back catalogue.

Spirit managing director Mark Fried told Music Week that the new agreement will try to “co-promote” both the film and the film’s music, with Spirit being able to source songs from its entire catalogue to appear in other Henson films, such as Pinocchio.
