I like Hot Club De Paris and so was sorry to hear that the band's album launch party on Saturday got stopped before they even got to perform. Final support act goFaster were three songs into their set when the venue was plunged into darkness and silence due to a power cut in the area. The band tried to carry on. The crowd stayed put and hummed a bit. But then staff at the venue told everyone to leave.
The band's Matthew Smith was, it seems, disappointed but pragmatic: "What can we say but 'oops?' What a pisser!"
