Limp Bizkit victime d'une alerte à la bombe !
Le groupe a été forcé d'annuler...









...un concert en Pologne suite à une alerte à la bombe.


Fred Durst leader de Limp Bizkit qui avait décidé de reporter le show, a déclaré : "Last night we had a serious bomb threat at the venue in Katowice, Poland. Five minutes before we had to go on stage the chief of policia came into our dressing room with the promoter and told us someone called the police and said to evacuate the building in one hour.
Fred Durst
The policia said that he could not say if it there was a chance it was or was not going to happen. At that point I made the decision to evacuate the building and announce the problem to the audience.

The policia and the promoter were very concerned there would be a riot. I am glad to say the fans in Poland were very cool under these circumstances and were very respectful to authorities.
"


Durst s'est excusé auprés de ses fans Polonais, ajoutant : "We did not know what to think about the whole situation, but we are glad that everyone is safe. I am very sorry that happened to all of you in Poland. We will be back. We also have all the video footage of the promoter and chief of policia informing us of the bomb threat. We are working on cutting it together for you.

Man, what the f*ck is going on with our planet? Our societies? Our minds?
It is a beautiful thing to be alive. If you get a chance try to reflect on the good things we have today. At least we have the life to reflect. Think about it. On the road again.

Le 7ème album de Super Furry Animals
Le groupe,









Super Furry Animals termine sa tournée anglaise et retourne en studio pour y enregistrer son nouvel album.


Après un remixe de "Phantom Power", prévu le 12 avril, SFA a confirmé qu'il se mettait au travail. Dafydd Ieuan batteur du groupe a déclaré au Salisbury Journal : "On the last album we had about 44 songs in various stages of completion, so we had to choose 14 to record that we thought would work together as an album.
Super Furry Animals
There's surplus from that album and even more have come along. We have our own studio in Cardiff so it's a bit easier to take your time when you know that time is not money.

You can go back and change things, or scrap a week's worth of work without thinking that you are wasting a fortune.
