My fantasy band: Henry Binns, Zero 7
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Drums - Topper Headon
Nick Headon – Topper from The Clash – came to our studio and we had a jam. That's not something I do but he likes jazz funk and I do too. He's tight and hits the kit hard but he's kind of tentative.
Banjo - Levon Helm
We've all seen The Band's "The Last Waltz" and there's nothing he can't do. Helm did a little moment on banjo, which is why he's there.
Bassist - Paul McCartney
My favourite bass player and I dare say he could help write the occasional melody.
Backing vocals - Panda Bear & Mavis Staples
Panda Bear is from Animal Collective. How beautiful are they? It's like The Beach Boys go raving. I also love The Staple Singers. When they sang "The Weight" with The Band, it's the best thing I've seen! She's very sexy.
Guitar - Jonny Greenwood
It was going to be Neil Young but it was getting too California so it's got to be Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead.
Lead vocals - Lowell George
He sung with Little Feat; I'm such a grandad, but he was unbelievable. He makes me want to cry. He looked like a bus driver but what a voice!
Zero 7's album "Yeah Ghost" is out now on Atlantic. See zero7.co.uk.
