Taylor Hawkins‘ son Shane has joined Supergrass, his father’s favourite band, to perform ‘Caught By The Fuzz’ at the Great Estate Festival.

The Great Estate ran from May 30 to June 1 this year at Scorrier House, Cornwall, with the likes of Happy Mondays, Leftfield and 808 State headlining alongside Supergrass. Shane had already been announced to play with California rock band The Alive at the festival.

However, Shane then made a surprise appearance early on at Supergrass’ set, who were famously one of Taylor Hawkins’ favourite bands. Actor Jason Sudeikis previously shared that Hawkins considered their 1999 self-titled album to be “one of the all-time best”, and the Oxford trio would pay tribute to the late Foos drummer at his Wembley tribute show when he passed away in 2022.

Fans filmed Shane taking to the stage to play the band’s debut single ‘Caught By The Fuzz’. Taken off their 1995 album and eventual Britpop classic ‘I Should Coco’, Shane can be seen drumming ferociously behind frontman Gaz Coombes. He follows in his father’s footsteps, who had also played surprise performances of ‘Caught By The Fuzz’ with Supergrass before.

We spoke to Supergrass last year to celebrate the 30th anniversary of ‘I Should Coco’. During our conversation, Gaz Coombes reflected on being Taylor Hawkins’ favourite band, which they theorised was around the time they started touring in the US.

“He was playing with Alanis [Morissette] when we first ran into Taylor and heard about how much he was into us. It was really cool,” he told NME.

“There were these guys like Eddie Vedder who I really bonded with. He was always in our dressing room on the Pearl Jam tour. There was something quite cool about bands like Foos and Pearl Jam loving a smaller British indie band rather than something that got really massive. They just related to our energy, plus how we were a bit throw-away in interviews and didn’t take things too seriously.”

Having just wrapped up their UK anniversary tour, Supergrass will head to North America later in September to play their seminal album in full. See all dates below and snag remaining tickets here:
