Test Icicles disaster catalogue

NME reports a string of accidents involving Test Icicles, including a severed toe, a shoving by security and a broken nose, and the band have donated a track to Warchild.

According to NME, buzz band Test Icicles may win the prize for most accident prone group of the year, if such an award exists. Their last London show was cut short when the band's keyboardist Dev Hynes cut off half his toe on a broken bottle and passed out over his keyboard. Weeks later at the same venue band member Sam Mehran was pushed downstairs by an irate security guard, whilst third member Rory Atwell broke his nose whilst the band were on tour with Death From Above 1979 when he stage-dived into the crowd and they failed to catch him. I was planning to try and get along to a gig at some point, but I've decided against it. I'm scared a light might fall on my head.

Meanwhile, Test Icicles have donated a track to warchildmusic.com the proceeds of which, as I'm sure you all know by now, will be donated to the Warchild charity.
