LONDON, Feb. 3 (UPI) -- The U.S. comic writer-actors who played the British heavy metal band in the iconic mockumentary "This Is Spinal Tap" are recording some new songs.
Michael McKean, Harry Shearer and Christopher Guest starred in the 1984 film and recorded two albums as Spinal Tap. They also reunited two years ago for the Live Earth concert in London. In addition, the trio has collaborated on non-Spinal Tap projects such as the Oscar-race satire, "Four Your Consideration," and "A Mighty Wind," a mockumentary about a folk music reunion concert.
