Test Icicles have spoken to Gigwise about that incident in Liverpool on Friday. As previously reported, the band were supporting label mates Arctic Monkeys, but were met with boos and a barrage of plastic glasses when they played their set. Guitarist Rory Aggwelt admitted that they weren't very good: "Basically we were late. It's really hectic at the moment. We didn't have time to sound check never mind warm up. We turned up and did our thing. We were really shit and we know that." Band mate Devonte Hynez added: "We can't expect people to like us when we're so shit. Some people like us, some people just don't get us."
Aggwelt also added that the fact that the audience were Arctic Monkeys fans didn't help: "They just didn't get us and I don't think people were there to see us."
