AUCKLAND–Svelte's lovable but often clumsy lead singer, Tim Stewart, has reportedly destroyed a brand new copy of Dimmer's latest album during an interview on Wellington's Radio Active. The incident occurred during the off-air banter DJ's and bands typically engage in - usually while advertisements are playing.
Tim was handed a brand new copy of Dimmer’s latest offering in order to examine the non-existent CD-face artwork. “It all happened so fast’ explained Tim. “When I didn’t cup the cardboard packaging with both hands, I knew I was in real trouble”.
The owner of the CD, Public Address’s Damian Christie, politely dismissed the accident despite witnessing the cardboard being crumpled in half as the singer tried to catch the tumbling CD - effectively ‘clapping’ and therefore crushing the cardboard cover in a rather forceful manner.
Svelte’s guitarist, Ben Sciascia, witnessed the accident and felt alcohol may have played a part. “Alcohol was definitely a contributing factor, as was speed. If only he’d used both hands initially, he wouldn’t have fumbled and destroyed the artwork in such a brutal and final manner” Ben said on Monday.
Ironically, the cover artwork clearly depicts a pair of cupped hands, as if demonstrating the proper way to receive a beautiful cardboard gift. Source=Etlevs
