NewsDeerhunter robbed at gunpointDeerhunter were robbed at gunpoint following their show Friday night (July 27) in their hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. While sitting in their car, frontman Bradford Cox and guitarist Lockett Pundt were held up by gunmen, who took several of their personal belongings but left the men unharmed. Cox posted the following message on Deerhunter's blog and MySpace page: "We got a friendly homecoming surprise last night in Atlanta when Lockett and I got robbed at gunpoint after our show at Lenny's last night. We literally had just walked off the stage and I was pretty wasted. "I heard a commotion behind us but like I said I was pretty out of it. I just opened the door to the car and collapsed in the passenger seat. Then I heard all this yelling and I hear this loud metallic banging on the window and look up and there is a gun in my face and a guy yelling "get the fuck out the car man" I stumbled out and see the other guy has Lockett with his arms spread on the roof of his car and is patting him down. "Lockett was begging them to leave me alone. The guy put his gun up to my temple and said, 'Give me EVERYTHING motherfucker I ain't fucking with you.' I just mumbled something and he put his hands in my pants and took everything I had. My cellphone, my wallet (empty except for credit / bank cards which Kristin immediately cancelled, and about 450 dollars in cash I had for my rent.) They also got all of Lockett's money. They even took my fucking Camel Ultralights and Orange Bic. All I can say is that I'm glad we are not dead." The Sunshine Underground play new song at Carling Weekend: Reading Festival The Sunshine Underground played a sweltering afternoon set at today (August 26) at the Carling Weekend: Reading Festival, watched in the wings by Klaxons' Jamie Reynolds and his mother. The tent was packed out for the band's performance, some grateful for the shade on a steaming hot afternoon in Reading. After playing a rapturously-received 'Borders', singer/guitarist Craig Wellington introduced a new song, saying, "This is a new song from an album coming out some time in the future." The song shows a continuation of the band's baggy/Britpop-influenced sound, featuring a Stone Roses-esque swagger, Oasis-style guitar feedback and a singalong chorus. The band went on to play crowd favourited 'The Way It Is' and closed with 'Raise The Alarm', which saw Wellington swap his guitar for drumsticks as he pounded on a cowbell set then raised his arms to the crowd. During the song, Klaxons' Jamie Reynolds, wearing a large plastic cast over his broken leg and using a crutch for assistance, hobbled up onto the viewing platform to the side of the stage to watch the band with his mother and New Young Pony Club drummer Sarah Jones.
