The BRITS after-show party was hilarious! i didn't even know I was doing it until I turned up at Earls Court and asked the chap at the entrance where the DATING AGENCY Party was that i'd been booked for. He looked a bit confused and asked me what my name was and said I was actually performing at the BRITS after show party and that the dating agency bit was part of all that! Blimey I hadn't got my black little number on - only a manky old jumper and an old pair of trousers coming apart at the seams!
So I was led up to the dressing room where six break dancers were limbering up and eventually did the sound check. Oh shut up KILLERS! They were on live and making a dreadful noise and sometimes my little casio organ was reacting to the frequency - or was it my headset microphone?! One of the engineers came up all startled - "What frequency are you on?" "69" I answered. I set my headset mic at frequency 69 for a joke a while ago - no one on earth would have theirs set at that number!
The engineer whizzed over and tore out my microphone from its transmitter! That's the same frequency as the Killers! Oh dear - it seems that at any minute My CRUMBLE SONG could have been interferring with the Killers live set and be broadcast all over UK tellies live from downstairs!
Well the party went from bad to worse as women were coming up to me crying for toilets! Yes - they'd spent thougsands even millions on the aftershow party but noone had bothered to order any portaloos so the women were lied up round the block - some crying for relief!
I did my 20 minute set and left for the last tube....
I wonder if the Killers ever heard my Crumble song on their monitors!??
