Well, thank God for The Pipettes - when Brandon Flowers said he wasn't going to bitch about other bands any more we were really quite worried that they'd be no one around to start those all important band feuds (well, Lily Allen's still around I suppose, but I'm getting tired of her) - so good on the Brighton girl trio for getting all bitchy.
Apparently they've been slagging off Razorlight, have called Dirty Pretty Things "the worst band in the world" and said of Mr Pete Doherty that he's "just a celebrity who's renowned for being a smack head". But it was on the subject of The Kooks that they got most animated.
In a recent radio interview Becki Pipette recalled how Kooks man Luke Pritchard called his gig at the Great Escape festival in Brighton 'a homecoming gig' - saying: "They were like, 'It's really nice to be home,' and they're not even from Brighton! Music integrity, please? Luke said, 'It's something of a homecoming for me.' Fuck off! We hate the Kooks... we have to dislike them because they were made at the same stage school as Rooster!"
Gwenno Pipette adds: "When he [Pritchard] was on Jonathan Ross, he had his legs up on the sofa and he was just being a rude little boy. We haven't got the time for those kind of boys... and that stupid straw hat he wears!"
