Pigeon Detectives Postpone Shows

The Pigeon Detectives' performance at One Big Weekend last weekend has resulted in them having to postpone two shows (Dublin and Belfast) this week after lead singer, Matt Bowman, ended up leaving the site in an ambulance after badly injuring his leg.

You can see a video of the performance, along with photos, which are actually funnier and more dramatic-looking, and a setlist at BBC.co.uk/radio1/bigweekend/2008/artists/pigeondetectives.

The whole injury part doesn't actually look like much of a big deal, but if that's all you want to see, fast forward to about 18:07, during 'Take Her Back'. The set up to this point was just Matt hurling himself around the stage like a hyperactive six year old, incorporating some rather entertaining dance moves and covering himself in water, but after a brief lie down mid-set, he is far more subdued - even if he does continue to jump around a fair bit.
