The Automatic apparently trashed the set during an appearance on GMTV at the end of last week. According to reports, the band ran amok (lovely phrase, that) in the garden, knocking stuff over, like instruments, furniture and cameramen.
Keyboardist Alex Pennie told NME.com why their appearance got so very rawk n roll: "We decided to stay up all night after the gig in Bristol rather than have to get up early for GMTV - we've never been very good in the mornings! Frost [guitarist] was pretty drunk when we started 'Monster' and I'm easily led. Before we knew it, I was standing in my boxer shorts in the GMTV garden and Frost has trashed all the equipment."
He continued: "Wonder if we'll get asked back? Maybe we won't have to worry about early starts any more."
