Beth Ditto's alien encounter

Beth Ditto took part in the Alien Wars game at Glasgow's Arches venue, which she described as very scary, almost making her throw up.

Beth Ditto played an apparently terrifying 'total reality game', Alien Wars, when she was in Glasgow last weekend. The Arches venue, where Gossip were appearing, is also home to the game venture, and offered Ditto the chance to have a go whilst she was on site. As far as I can tell, what happens is that you get taken into the basement for a 'tour' to see some purportedly alien artefact, and then the power outs, all hell breaks lose, and you've got fifteen minutes to get out.

An insider told The Daily Record: "Beth was screaming and her vocal chords were getting a real work out. She was running as fast as she could and when she came out, she was laughing and out of breath. She might not look like she can move, but she has great stamina and adrenaline from playing gig after gig. She was the noisiest person in the venue and was clinging on to her friend and pushing and shoving to get away from the aliens. Her imagination ran riot and she couldn't stop talking about it".

Ditto herself commented: "You need to go through this experience. It was amazing, very scary. I almost threw up".
