The War On Drugs have spoken of their 'upset' after Sun Kil Moon's Mark Kozolek slammed the band during a recent show.
Kozolek was playing at the same time as the acclaimed 'Red Eyes' rockers when he asked the crowd "Who the fuck is that?," reports Exclaim.
Once he was told who it was, he added: "I hate that beer-commercial lead-guitar shit. This next song is called 'The War On Drugs Can Suck My Fucking Dick’."
Nice.
Naturally, The War On Drugs were less than pleased:
Can anyone confirm that mark kozelek was talking shit on us during his set in Ottawa last night? Cuz we obviously booked the schedule....wtf

Seems like it might have been at least partially in jest so whatever. Just upsetting to me as a fan that's all. We're just doin' what we do

It's not Kozolek's first on-stage outburst - recently calling a crowd at Hopskotch Festival 'fucking hillbillies' - before making t-shirts to commemorate it.
The War On Drugs return to the UK for dates in Liverpool, London, Bristol, Manchester and Glasgow in November. For tickets and more information, visit here.
