Brritpop band Mansun's wikipedia entry is very funny
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansun
When they talk about the early days of the band it's some of the funniest stuff I've ever read about a band Chad had previously played with "Floating Bear"[10] formed whilst at Bangor University in 1990, where he had been studying French and Russian but was kicked off the course due to lack of effort. Chad would later admit that his routine during university was "get up at three, go down to the union bar at four and stay there until it shut".[ As a four piece, the band continued touring including support gigs with Cast, Audioweb and Shed Seven until Hibbert was sacked from the band in May 1996 following a series of rows with an inebriated Chad that resulted in a bizarre incident that involved a pineapple being thrown at Chad's face in Cambridge, where the band were supporting Shed Seven.[11][18][19] Throughout the early days of the band, Chad was involved in a string of violent alcohol fueled incidents. These included punching his own reflection in a hotel mirror, being thrown out of a pub after attempting to drop kick the bar, throwing pint glasses out of a window in Sheffield, getting himself banned along with the rest of the band from every outlet of the now defunct roadside restaurant chain Happy Eater, all Hard Rock Cafe's worldwide and every Holiday Inn hotel in the UK after drop kicking a statue of the Venus de Milo During the early days of the band, Mansun were noted and sometimes derided for their constantly changing fashion styles. Such styles ranged from punk, new romantic, baggy "Madchester" clothes, army fatigues, A Clockwork Orange style boiler suits and even women's clothing. Draper admitted that it was "probably overenthusiasm, seeing people like Bowie's different guises and thinking, 'Great! Let's try that' |
