Dear Mozza: Canadian indie types don't like you
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver October 25th, 2006

Morrissey is a "sad sight" according to The Dears' Patrick Krief.

The Canadian outfit recently supported the former Smiths singer, and guitarist Krief was disappointed with the behaviour of the Machester-spawned artist.

He told Obscure Sound (no, us neither, but click here for a link):

“Opening for Morrissey was a sad sight, man. Seeing what success can do to people is pretty painful. Being asked to leave the building when he’s crossing the corridor, or being told to not look directly at him made me sick.

“Sometimes it’s better to not meet people you admire. The whole band was pretty upset by the whole encounter. Luckily for me, I’m not a fan. I can’t deal with Morrissey. I never liked his music.”

The Dears' new single, 'Whites Only Party', is out now on Bella Union.
