Goldblade caught up in Moscow riot

Riot police stormed the crowd at a Moscow Goldblade gig, attacking fans in the moshpit, leading to 20 arrests.

Fun all round at a recent Russian gig for Brit punksters Goldblade where local riot police kept storming the crowd every time they started to dance.

A spokesman for Goldblade explains: "Goldblade were going down a storm when the riot police stormed into the crowd and started attacking several fans in the moshpit. The band stopped playing and attempted to stop the fighting, however the police - who were elite special forces city centre troops - would only briefly stop their bullying when the band stopped playing and then pile in again when the songs and the dancing resumed. There were 20 arrests. After four songs the police pulled back and the crowd were left to have a great time."
