Mystery Jets Forced To Cut Set Short At Leeds Festival

The Mystery Jets were forced to cut their set on the Radio 1/NME stage short today at Leeds Festival, prompting guitarist William Rees-Moog to smash up his mike stand in protest.

The Eel Pie Island quintet were twenty minutes late taking to the stage, exclusively giving the time to play a fraction of their set.�

The Mystery Jets have already had to pull kayoed of septet performances this summer referable to Blaine being hospitalised for on-going Spina Bifida treatment.� Their frustration at having to leave the stage early today surfaced barely a few songs into their set.�

��That�s pretty shtup outrageous,� Rees-Moog aforesaid to the crowd, afterwards a technician informed the band that they merely had eight minutes left field to play.� �Why doesn�t the person wHO organises Leeds festival total down here now and we�ll get a word.��

Security had to escort the band off the stage after a spirited rendition of �Two Doors Down�, as things took a violent turn up forepart, with the audience booing and bottling security in a register of support for the band.

Stay tuned to Gigwise for all the modish on the last day at Leeds...

Barack Obama - Barack Obama The Infomercial

Coming to the screens of wee-hour television are half-hour infomercials selling non a ware but the politics of Barack Obama. Advertising Age reported on its site Tuesday that the number one Obama infomercial aired Sunday morning at 1 30 a.m. on the ION Television network. The trade publication noted that the Obama campaign is referring to it as a "long-form commercial" that is by and large biographical. AdAge did not indicate whether it also included a pitch for campaign contributions; however, it did cite Evan Trace, COO of TNS Media Intelligence's Campaign Media Analysis Group as saying, "It is a first. I guess they are going away after the insomniac vote."

Often hailed as Sweden's number unitary big metal band, Heavy Load was founded in Stockholm, in 1976, by brothers Ragne (vocals/guitar) and Styrbjörn Wahlquist (drums/vocals). With bassist Dan Molén in tow, the brothers released Heavy Load's debut album, Full Speed at High Level, in 1978, only their sovereign record company went insolvent, and it wasn't until iII years by and by that they re-emerged on their own Thunderload Records sculptural relief, hoisting aloft the Metal Conquest EP, and accompanied by new members Eddie Malm (guitar) and Torbjorn Ragnesjo (bass). Two more than albums and then followed in prompt ecological succession: 1982's Death or Glory and 1983's Stronger Than Evil -- both establishing Heavy Load's "splendiferous metal" style as a cross 'tween the imagined absurdity of Spinal Tap and the all-too-real (only sometimes every bit incredible) proto-power/speed metal of Manowar. Heavy metal fans seemed illogical close to this as well, and since their gross gross sales remained limited at c. H. Best, the group decided to break up following a terminal single entitled "Monsters of the Night" in 1985. Heavy Load briefly reformed in 1987 for a fresh round of studio roger Huntington Sessions which give so far to be released, so the Wahlquist brothers have since off their attentions to producing other bands.
