The Futons
One friday night in 2006 I was out on the piss with some lads in Liverpool, when we encountered Dave McCabe from the Zutons.

He was out in an Indyish bar (Heebeejeebees) and seemed to be getting quite a bit of attention from the ladies. I was in an inebriated enough condition to think it a good idea to stumble over to him and confirm that he was in fact "Dave from the Zutons", I received a snarled "No, Fuck off!" for my (politish) enquiries.

I reported back to the lads and we felt indignant about my snub.

More drinking ensued and I recall we chatted to Dave's brother who seemed like quite a nice fellow.

Then we saw Dave and his small entourage making a beeline for the door, seizing his chance the mouthiest member of our group started to heckle;
"Oi Dave!"
"Fuck off" Dave growled without breaking his step.
"I've got a band too" (this was untrue)
"Fuck off"
"We're called the Futons!"
"Fuck off" (The eloquent Dave still walking).
"We're from Sweden!"
Dave stopped in his tracks...turned (this is when someone gets punched I thought to myself), he cracked a grin said "that's actually funny" and shook my mate by the hand. Then he left.

Nice to know that even people from shit bands can be arrogant too.

My girlfriend
went to school with him. Apparently he used to be very nice and well mannered and even went out with her sister a few times. Now he's a tosser (her words).

Wikipedia says
they were dropped by their label around last Christmas. Apparently they got three albums out? Roffle.
