Test Icicles: "F*ck the ULU"
crablin by Colin Roberts February 3rd, 2006

Last night's Test Icicles show in London was marred by entry problems.

When a show is advertised as ages 14+, you'd generally expect to get inside if you were 15, right? Not last night at London's University of London Union (ULU) show. The door staff were requesting photo ID from all and sundry that has provoked reponses from both headline band Test Icicles (pictured) and tour support Help She Can't Swim.

Rory of Test Icicles proclaimed the door staff as "a load of thugs with the IQ of 26", via a Myspace bulletin this morning, apologising sincerely for the problems, despite the fault lying at the feet of the venue. Help She Can't Swin ended their statement with a simple "THE ULU SUCKS DICK".

There has been a complaint drafted by DiS message board user ma0sm, which you can get at by clicking here.
