The British kids found themselves fighting against security staff during their last gig at SXSW in Austin, TX. Apparently staff from Ceder Street Courtyard pulled the plug on the band’s set as they thought their allotted time was up.

Frontman Sam Eastgate tells NME.com:

“The bouncers went behind the sound desk and grabbed Steve, our sound guy, right off the desk.

“They turned off the power but I found a guitar microphone that was on, used that for a bit, then all of a sudden the bouncer had one of us by the throat.

“I saw red. It was quite a big jump, because he’s such a big bouncer. Someone grabbed me and threw me down the stairs.”

Eastman added that he was cool with the incident since he knew the crowd would make up their own mind as to who was right & wrong. Turns out the crowd sided with Late of the Pier since the band finished their set to the roar of applause.
