Wow kicked off stage at Oxford Arts Factory

shaun  said about 12 months ago  or at  6:23PM on Monday, July 7 2008.

So does anyone know exactly what happened? Apparently the owner/manager/whatever of OAF got up three songs into Wow's set and asked them to stop, quite forcefully apparently. What was her problem? Was anyone there?

goldslip  said about 12 months ago:

its at 'hollywood hotel' whatever that is

doris is correct, they are pretty rubbish


goldfoot  said about 12 months ago:

Judging from that you tube clip it was at The Hollywood not OAF. Doris who runs the pub is an amazing woman.

says a bit on polaroids of androids


Punch  said about 12 months ago:

the levity story side left names the hollywood as well.


anonymous  said about 12 months ago:

now they're promoting it as something good!

and its a m&n article!

hmm!

shaun works for levity!!

street team alert!


shaun  said about 12 months ago:

Oh right, don't know why I assumed it was OAF, looked like it in that youtube.


goldslip  said about 12 months ago:

i don't get why they'd stage something like this just to sell jeans?


shaun  said about 12 months ago:

ha, so everything thinks it was staged then. Maybe it was, seems pretty silly. fucken jeans companies hey?


goldslip  said about 12 months ago:

they were all actors i think, doris was paid a couple of hundred bucks too and a pair of hipsters


MickeyPratt  said about 12 months ago:

wow, that doris is my hero. they should send her into modular....


bungle  said about 12 months ago:

I just wasted 5 minutes trying to find their myspace to see what they sound like, to no avail.

Naming your band a generic word that's also shared with the acronym of the biggest online game in the world is a really bad idea.


montyclift  said about 12 months ago:

doris is old showbiz - she appeared in a movie with bob hope you know - and will tell you about it for hours.

she's fabulous - and would probably happily be involved if it was a stunt. she love the kids and their hippity hoppity music.

aloha  said about 12 months ago:

levity hires venue, band starts playing, venue boots band off stage.

doesn't this make levity look incompetent?


shaun  said about 12 months ago:

so these guys like Crystal Castles then

would never have guessed


luke  said about 12 months ago:

I thought Dorris was no-longer the licensee at the Hollywood Hotel.


goldfoot  said about 12 months ago:

It seems to me that WOW are trying to get some credibility/notoriety out of this by making out that they were kicked off stage because their stage show was too wild for the venue. I'm guessing it was more an issue of noise levels not being sorted out before the show and the publican cracking the shits because it was too loud.


luke  said about 12 months ago:

Oh, I think everyone is going along for the ride.

looch  said about 12 months ago:

all of you. i hope you die.

haha..... maybe you shoulda tried to cash in the emo angle rather than the electro clash angle.... seems more up yr alley


knerf  said about 12 months ago:

you guys suck.

you do.


looch  said about 12 months ago:

works now


WOW  said about 12 months ago:

uaregay_cunts is definitely not us sorry

but thanks for sticking up for us uaregay_cunts

and just want to clear this up, this is definitely not a publicity stunt, however when your label is basically a marketing company this is what happens. yes the video is way over the top, but these comments are out of hand. doris said it was too loud, we agreed to one more and everyone was happy. we kissed and made up with doris later.
