British Band Hauled Off Stage by Gun Toting Polizei

NME reports that pseudo-neo-post-punk band Editors were playing a run of the mill gig in Cologne, Germany a few days ago when armed policemen entered the venue and forced them to leave the stage in the middle of their encore. Thankfully no one was killed.

According to the Editors boys, the reason given for the rock-us interruptus was that the band was “being excessively loud.” One has to wonder, though, if there might have been a mistranslation, and the coppers meant to say “sucking excessively hard”. Really makes you wonder.

Editors return with their sophomore LP An End Has a Start on June 25 in the UK and Europe, and July 17 in the States. Check out their bombastically wanky new video:
