Bands under fire: The Sound Explosion and Kasabian on the injured list

On the operating table they're not, but members of both Kasabian and The Sound Explosion have nonetheless physically suffered for their art in recent days.

As has been widely reported already, Kasabian's Sergio Pizzorno was crocked by a bottle to the head at a gig in Glasgow on Friday. He required six stitches and was unable to finish the gig.

Pizzorno told reporters: "It's such a shame the actions of one person put an end to our best gig all year." The band played a second show on Saturday night with no reported incidents.

In related news, Glen Roughead of The Sound Explosion broke his foot during a gig in Newcastle. The singer jumped some 12 foot from the Cooperage's rafters, landing upon concrete. The next night's show, in Swansea, was cancelled, but the quartet is expected to provide their scheduled support to both Million Dead and Hell Is For Heroes in the immediate future.

Bunch of grapes, anybody?

Glen Roughead, will you never learn to bend your knees when you land?

Dislike Kasabian as people when I read the interviews. But like their music. Nonetheless, people who throw stuff at gigs and festivals should be dragged out of the venue/field face downwards.

I'm really anti- people throwing stuff like that at gigs.

With Kasabian, what you do is, slash all the tyres on their tourbus, then when they're out of the bus, looking at the damage, WHAM! with the baseball bat. Yeah.

No band on stage deserves a bottling.

"- fucking fashion band using quasi political imagery to sell to ver kids everything about them reeks of in-authenticity"
