Sneaky Sound System Thank Albury For Its Hospitality The Rockstar Way

11:47AM Clem Bastow | ARIA-winners and clothes-shop-soundtrackers Sneaky Sound System have clearly let their skyrocketing profile go to their heads, trashing a regional hotel room during their seemingly endless tour of duty. Apparently it wasn’t enough entertainment in Albury for the threesome to, perhaps, “do a Deany” and then throw someone through a shopfront window, and instead they decided to get all Led Zep on one half of the twin cities. Chifley Hotel general manager Mark Munday told the local newspaper that the band “went overboard” while staying overnight following a music festival. …Mr Munday told the local press that he had thought bands had grown out of trashing hotel rooms. “Generally bands are pretty well behaved but they’ve trashed the room pretty much,” he said. “Flyscreens were broken, one bed was broken, there was graffiti in the room – they really took to town.” The damage bill was reportedly expected to come to $1000. Presumably SSS wipe their bums with $1000 notes these days (yes, we know), since they’re like hot new artists and shiz. Either way, we’re delighted to see that removing flyscreens is the new throwing the television into the pool. “Man, I’m so fucking rock, I just want to let blowflies come in the window and crawl all over these naked groupies.” Stellar work, Sneaky Sound System, stellar.
