Zutons singer indulges in a bit of [ultra] violence

The lead singer of MOR-leaning indie band The Zutons is to be sentenced for assault next
month, for breaking a man¹s nose outside a Liverpool nightclub.

Singer Dave McCabe, 29, head-butted Peter Appleby, Liverpool crown court was
told, after one of his friends said McCabe¹s girlfriend looked like she had
a beard (disappointingly this isn¹t a testament to some sort of hormone
disorder, but to her fur collared coat.)

The assault occurred at the Korova bar (see lame Clockwork Orange reference
in blog title), which McCabe had apparently visited after attending a relative¹s 60th
Birthday celebrations.

The singer denied assault causing actual bodily harm and claimed he had
acted in self-defence.

McCabe ­ whose songs include Please Calm Me Down and Havana Gang Brawl ­
looked ‘disappointed’, The Guardian reports.

Possibly not as disappointed as anyone who spent actual, hard earned cash on
any Zutons albums, however.
