Teenagers Gig Ends In Stage Invasion


THE TEENAGERS' first gig in Australia resulted in a massive stage invasion.

NME magazine reports that some 50 audience members took to the stage for a rendition of the band's hit HOMECOMING.

According to the publication, the fans, helped by lead singer QUENTIN DELAFON, jumped up to join the group as they played the final song in their set.

Following the invasion, there had to be a brief interlude in the show as crew members reassembled the drum kit and mike stands.

During the rest of the Brisbane gig, the French trio treated fans to STARLETT JOHANSSON, FEELING BETTER and LOVE NO, plus a string of their other tunes.

BLOC PARTY's drummer MATT TONG accompanied the group.

The magazine adds that the band seemed to enjoy the gig as much as the fans, with Delafon saying "this is our first time in Australia, we love you already", as he finished the opening number.

Meanwhile, Delafon recently attributed the heavy swearing in THE TEENAGERS' songs to the fact they learned English from American films.

Speaking to Australian newspaper the Age, the singer said: "We just thought that this is super-normal, like just how people talk."
