The Wombats to appear on 'Neighbours'

The Wombats

The Wombats

Band will play on the Australian soap this summer

The Wombats are set to perform in a forthcoming episode of Australian soap opera 'Neighbours'.

The Liverpool trio will perform two songs, 'Kill The Director' and 'Let's Dance To Joy Division', at the fictional venue Charlie's Bar this August.

The episode will air in the UK later in 2008, most likely in September or October.

The band are not the first musicians to appear on the show – both the Pet Shop Boys' Chris Lowe and The Spice Girls' Emma Bunton have made cameos on Ramsay Street in the past.
