Sonic Youth have reportedly been asked to play on an episode of Gossip Girl’s third season.

Executive producer of the US drama Stephanie Savage says that the band will play ‘Starpower’ on episode five of the new season.

“Sonic Youth [are] one of my favourite bands,” Savage told Entertainment Weekly. “And last year I was doing my regular Gossip Girl Google search, it came up in some blog about a Sonic Youth show that Thurston [Moore] was playing ‘Psychic Hearts’ and Gossip Girl was playing on a screen in the background. And I was like, ‘Whaaaat? (sic) Oh my God’.

“I hope they’re not making fun of us! I hope it was a cool, edgy homage! And it turned out that it was – tongue in cheek for sure, but definitely with love, and that they were fans of the show.”

Talking about that storyline that comes to a head during that episode she said: “We have a very special event coming in episode five that we’re filming right now, and they seemed the ideal musical guest for it. It’s a big event that involves Rufus and Lily. Just draw your own conclusions.”

I bet it has something to do with Lily and Rufus’ long lost son and these pictures. There’s no fooling us Savage!
