Danger High Voltage!

Jackass mad-arses Steve-O and Chris 'Party Boy' Pontious upset Electric Six at last weekends Download festival, trashing their hotel room, and giving the audience eggs to throw at the ‘Gay Bar’ stars.

Electric Six played in the slot after the Jackass pair’s Wild Boyz show. On leaving the stage Steve-O handed eggs out to the audience commenting: "I want you to take good care of these and leave them unbroken…until the next act [Electric Six] comes on."

The pair later trashed the bands dressing room, filming the commotion with a camera crew. At one point Pontious called over a member of Electric Six to the window of the room before smashing it then shouting and swearing at him.

The trouble was unprecedented with Electric Six frontman Dick Valentine saying he was looking forward to the Wild Boyz show.

"It sounds cool, I'll have to check them out," Valentine said to XFM. "We'll try and follow it, and if we don't steal the show so what. But we will - we're gonna toss a dwarf around up there.

"We are hoping to have a new record out first thing 2005 - a New Year's gift. We're kind of like 'Hey don't forget about us, we know you want to, but we won't let you.' We'll do a tour in January as well.

"We're working on 'Gay Bar II' which is actually sounding a lot like 'Danger! High Voltage'. It'll take us to the next level. Then 'Dive Bar' will jump us up even more and 'Strip Bar' should put us damn near to heaven.

"We're playing 'Be My Dark Angel', 'Dance Epidemic' and 'Telephone Conversation' at the moment," Valentine explained. "There are a few new songs that you could put in the 'Radically Different' category, but none of those would qualify."

Valentine also explained how he knows when a show has gone well. "You get off stage, and if my old man is there and he burns me with a cigarette then I know we've done something wrong. But if he's not there then its party time. I think everybody out there at home is doing a great job, so don't nobody go nowhere and together we can all do a great job next year."
