From NME.com 2002
The Vines have been ordered to fly back to Australia for emergency rest after an "exhausted" Craig Nicholls snapped onstage at a show in Boston and fell brawling into the audience with bassist Patrick Mathews.
All dates outside of Australia for the first quarter of 2003 have been cancelled including their hot anticipated NME Awards Show at the London Astoria on February 12. Tours of Japan and America have also been cancelled. It is believed they will still be playing Big Day Out in Australia.
According to eyewitnesses Nicholls "went nutty" after Mathews broke a bass string during 'Ain't No Room' swinging his microphone around, hitting him on the head. Mathews then lunged at him and they fell fighting into the audience.
Both Nicholls and Mathews have been increasingly erratic in their behaviour in recent months. The band flew home after playing a Chicago show on December 15. They were scheduled to play gigs in Indianapolis and Detroit on December
16 and 17.

Libertines--additional GREAT band i didn't mention...

the band i forgot to mention was the Libertines because I thought someone else had posted about it... but then i realized no one had, I had just received a mailing from the libertines' group... hehe silly me.
anyways, their single 'what a waster' just came out on rough trade on the 3rd of june it is fantastic. and they are supposedly really damn good live. i am still awaiting their first visit to the states.
don't try to get additional songs off of Audiogalaxy because the "libertines" songs they have on their are from some other horrible band that is also named the libertines and the songs from that band are CRAP!
the official Libertines site is: (but it is still under construction) Lucy has a fabulous fan site though: and you can buy their record off the rough trade records website.
plus, they are rockfeedback's featured band of the week! they have a nice interview with Carl and some other stuff on the band over at that website.
definitely worth checking them out!
