Here's a fun story. I had tickets to see At the Drive-In in Nottingham about five years ago. We had a massive problem getting to the venue, none of us had ever travelled to Nottingham before so we had no idea where to go once we got off the train. The train itself was delayed by an hour, no problem, we'd left ourselves long enough to find the venue and have a drink before they came on anyway.

We got off the train and it was pitch-black, raining hard and there was nobody around who could direct us properly, so we got lost. After forty minutes of walking, we finally arrived at the venue to find the doors locked, and nothing but a piece of paper stapled to the door saying "SHOW CANCELLED".

They split up three days later. Great band. Acted like a pack of bastards.
