Fall man loves Mumford & Sons (well, he loves throwing bottles at them)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 22 October 2010
It’s not really clear whether The Fall’s Mark E Smith likes Mumford & Sons or not.
Recalling a recent festival where both bands were playing, he tells Australia’s Brag magazine: “We were playing a festival in Dublin the other week. There was this other group warming up in the next sort of chalet, and they were terrible. I said, ‘Shut them cunts up’, and they were still warming up, so I threw a bottle at them. My band said, ‘That’s the Sons of Mumford or something, they’re number five in the charts!’ I just thought they were a load of retarded Irish folk singers”.
Elsewhere in the interview, Smith also says that he’s left Domino, the record label which released The Fall’s latest album, ‘Your Future Our Clutter’, earlier this year. Ben Lovett from Mumford & Sons owns a record label, maybe he could sign them up.
