Australian band The Vines, seem to be splitting up.
Rock radio station Triple M held a small, listener-only concert last night in Australia, during which the bassist, Patrick Matthews, threw down his instrument and walked off stage after just one song.
Following this, Craig Nicholls, the band's lead singer, allegedly proceeded to trash the venue, throwing glasses at spectators, calling them "cunts" and "sheep" for being there, and kicking a photographer and breaking his camera.
antiMUSIC is reporting that breakup discussions were overheard backstage.

The Strokes
The Hives
Add about a billion other bands with "The" in their names, bad haircuts and 80s style jean jackets. We still have a ways to go but The Vines breaking up is a start.
On the good news related tip, Phish broke up. I don't necessarily hate Phish's music but man oh man fuck their stupid, hippie fans..

If you can get hold of the copy of Kerrang with The Vines as the cover feature, you should get a fair idea of where Craig Nicholls' head is at. If he wants to act like a petulant little schoolboy, let him. | Mayhem

Typical Vines behavior. They aren't going to break up anytime soon. | drjayphd

So are they taking The The with them? Because that might not be so good. | | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
