The Atlanta rockers say the would be musician is a fan of theirs and they hope to hit the studio soon.

"I'm not joking – she's even talked to our manager," guitarist Cole Alexander told NME.COM. "We're really honoured. She came to a show in New York and the came to see us in London. She's a fan and has aspirations to be a musician."

The guitarist added he hoped her infamous uncle will hear their collaboration.

Good point about good luck in getting into the states obviously missed the quote "She came to a show in New York".

Dear Museician. What a lovely name. It's already been pointed out by our dear fustymccrank that you have failed to read the article as it mentions "She came to a show in New York". That fact alone condemns you as being horrifically thick. Another thing against you, is that she is an American citizen, having been born in Los Angeles. Maybe your ignorance was not racially motivated, perhaps you were referring to the band Black Lips? The band Black Lips from Athens, Georgia in the United States? Either way, it probably is wise to check your inane comments against reality before you dribble them into the public forum. Now go weep in shame for 10 days then tell us you're sorry.

@ a55ho1e: you are an asshole, you're right. She's been a model for many years, and is pretty famous in the arab world. Don't make assumptions about her career because it's been decided that the article is going to focus on the fact that she's Bin Laden's neice... which doesn't really matter anyway.

She's almost as pretty as he is; they're certainly lookers those Bin Ladens, no mistaken. European terrorists were always so ugly-looking in the 1970s, especially those dreary IRA men and those frightfully dowdy Baader Meinhof women, so it's quite nice now to have glamorous freedom fighters for a change. She can drive her plane into my tower any time.

Of course its not her clame to fame idiot. The fact is articles like this are just going to make it harder for her to make a career, think about the amount of abuse shes had to go through just because shes related to the guy.

time will prove me right, but none of you will ever admit it. good for her, she's a famous model, wonderful. I forgot that being famous for the way you look automatically means you're a talented musician or singer, damn I am such an asshole!
