The Mae Shi Vs Miley Cyrus: 'See You Again' + August live dates

Download ‘See You Again’ from Pitchfork

LA’s disco punks The Mae Shi have really done it this time.  They’ve only gone and produced yet another work of total genius, go ahead and treat your ears to the electronic spazzcore workout that is ‘See You Again’.  

For those who’ve been living under a rock recently, ‘See You Again’ is a well-cherished pop hit by Miley Cyrus, aka Hannah Montana from worldwide Disney teen phenomenon High School Musical. The track itself is taken from soundtrack album ‘Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus’.  Here’s hoping that the Mae Shi don’t take this cover version one step further and rework Cyrus Senior Billy Ray’s line dancing classic ‘Achy Breaky Heart’…

Coincidentally The Mae Shi is also on tour, pursuing the usual punishing live schedule across the States and UK from this week onwards. More details of the US dates can be found on their Myspace.
