Whoop Whoop! It's at 'Sound' and The Police!


Jesus shitting Christ. What a night.


17th July. Leicester Square.

The opening guy was called
sonofabitch. He was one of those angry penetrating guys that's just so... giving. He strutted around like he was fucking each of us in the brain. Pretty cool.


Then it was our turn to play. But just before we played, we ran into this guy.


Now. On first impressions, this guy looks quite harmless. Some might say, 'not crazy'. But you'd be wrong. This guy was angry. This guy was angry, with this guy.


Three months ago see, a video was made by 'the mullet man' (we'll call him that). And 'the mullet man' received what they call a 'cheque'. This 'cheque' did this thing called 'bounce'. Now Jack says that the video was unfinished. Mullet man, says it was finished. This is where we have what they call a 'conflict'. And as a result of this 'conflict', 'the mullet man' said he would hunt Jack down until he paid the money that was owed. Hmmm. Meantime, gig a'gwan.

So, pensively, the gig was played.






As we had a situation on our hands, Jack decided to make a swift exit out of the fire exit. The band of thieves waited a few minutes and made an exit too. This would've been fine. But it really wasn't.

Mulllet man is pacing up and down Sound looking for Jack's blood to drink. The band of thieves load up into the lift and made for the ground floor. As the lift was going down, Ben decided to make a joke about how angry the 'crazy East European cameraman' looked. Little did he know that 'the mullet man' was just the other side of the double bass, in the same lift. I doubt this did much to calm him down.

And here comes the action. Picture this. The band of thieves are standing outside Sound with all the instruments. 'Where's Jack? Where's Jack?' asks the angry mullet character. We all plead ignorance, and he continued to pace. Until..

Mullet man grabs Tim's £3ooo Keyboard and runs across Leicester Square in an act of true coolness. This guy was so pissed off that he'd rather some old school justice than going to any court. He runs at full pelt until he decides he can't be bothered to run any more, and so wedges the keyboard (and it's half ripped soft case) in between two phoneboxes.

Below you can see him on the phone to somebody. Behind him is the keyboard, and the two phoneboxes.



After MM got a bit too annoying, the bloke to the right in the rather fetching purple shirt did us the favour of pushing him away and taking the keyboard. Amazing.

We walked away and the police arrived. They took our details and put a restraining order on the bloke.





Now Mullet Man isn't allowed within 50 metres of us. We had a mini adventure. After we went for buffalo wings at Bodeans. Today was a good day. Until he hunts us down that is...

That story is hilarious! I wish I was there to witness the Mullet-Rage in full flow...
