Maccabees Left Stranded in Munich

added 11 July 2012 at 12.25

Orlando and Felix from the band have told Xfm how they were stranded at Munich Airport at the weekend and lost a load of their kit...

Speaking to Xfm's Gordon Smart backstage at T In The Park the band explained that it wasn't a very nice scenario.

"They had little campbeds and stuff. It was quite a scrap - you had to beat off 6 year old children to get your bed ready," Felix joked. "It was a bit of a nightmare to be honest with you but it was an experience.

But it wasn't just the sleeping arrangements that were a problem.

"All the drums aren't here and the pedals - we've borrowed various pedals from people," the explained.

The band are in the middle of a massive series of festival shows - playing BBK, Benicassim and Optimus Prime in this weekend alone.
