My mates band once supported Towers of London in Aberdeen.
The whole thing was the most tedious display of wankerism I've ever seen.
They were upstairs (the stage etc was in the basement, place was Kef for any Aberb3tans) at the bar for a good 45 mins after they were supposed to be on stage. They came on and called the audience every name under the sun, "sang" whatever shit it was they called music, spat on the crowd then smashed a microphone up because it cut off. They then stomped off stage and refused to come back on, thank heaven for small mercies.

Another band that were utterly dire were "The Hold steady" when they supported the Counting Crows in Glasgow. Couldn't make out what the singer was rambling on about, he just sweated and jiggled across the stage. The entire crowd were stone cold silent and they cheered when someone threw a plastic cup of beer at the stage. We were at the front of the crowd and my mate looked at me and shook his head. The bass player spotted him and when he looked back at the stage the bass player just gave him an apologetic shrug.

hehehe
I saw Towers of London on a documentary thingy on the telly once. I thought it was a comedy, sort of a poor relation of Spinal Tap. I didn't realise they were a real band..

No, real band (well... in their eyes)
God, it was so bad though. I mean really really bad.
That didn't stop the EXTREMELY pissed, leather clad guy near the front from roaring "C'MON THE TOWERS" every 30 seconds then getting snubbed by them as they stomped off.
