The View have taken a swipe at iForward Russia! over a dispute they had at a gig earlier this year.

The Dundee lads claim that because iForward Russia! would not let them in their dressing room, they decided to play a gig in the toilet of the venue instead of sharing a stage.

Kieran from the band told Gigwise: “Basically they threw us out of the dressing room we were sharing, we just wanted to have a drink with them but they were having none of it.

“So we went into the toilet of the venue and started playing acoustically, everyone came to see us and iForward Russia! had nobody to play to.”

OK This is complete bullshit. The View did NOT play in the toilet acousticly, they were the first of 3 support acts that night before iForward Russia! came on. I was there that night, the bass player from the view did rip a urinal off the wall and down a bottle of martini. but thats about it! iForward Russia! had a pretty damn big crowd more than the vierw did anyway. Urgh.

HAving also been there that night, I can confirm that what Bellamymoloko has said is true. I was getting knocked onto the stage when FR were playing as well.
