Music news Attractive Eighties Women cut to the core

We've come to expect a little bodily fluid when attending a live show in Atlanta, but nothing kills a performance quicker than unwelcome bleeding from the band's lead.
Saturday night's Attractive Eighties Women CD release show at the Earl was supposed to be a blast. (To read Mosi Reeves preview, click here.) But everything ceased four songs into the set when an unidentified female culprit threw a glass at lead Mack Williams that shattered. His wrist was cut in the process. Here's the explanation posted on AEW's website:
For those of you who weren’t there, the show was cut short after our fourth song, “Pandamoniumâ€. Someone in the audience (most likely a jealous ex-girlfriend or a whack-job animal rights activist) seemed to take umbrage at the thought of us killing the baby panda. A glass was thrown, my wrist was cut, and, before any of us really knew what was happening, the show was over.
Williams spent the next few hours in Emory's emergency room, where he got stitched up.
