Jake Shears 'shat himself' when he DJd in London for the first time

  • December 22, 2011
  • Mikey

Jake Shears' new side project 'Crystal Pepsi' made their London DJ debut last weekend.

Crystal Pepsi — com­pris­ing Jake and David Geffen's boyfriend Jeremy Lingvall — supported Azari & III at Annie Mac Presents in Camden's Koko on Saturday and Jake admitted: "I was shitting myself".

Explaining the name he said: "Crystal Pepsi was a drink that Pepsi put out in the very early 90s that was a total flop. It tasted like cola but it looked like Sprite. It lasted for about five minutes."

While the new Scissor Sisters album is now in its final stages, Shears added: "It's fun for me to do stuff that's just so different from Scissor Sisters. And just, like, bang out crazy [tunes]."

Crystal Pepsi's 'SF Underground Mix' is available as a free download on their Soundcloud.
