During their headlining performance Saturday evening at the Wireless Festival in London, LCD Soundsystem took a line from Neko Case and lashed out at the crowd after bottles were thrown onstage. The band stopped mid-song after they’d had enough and singer James Murphy addressed the audience in a not so subtle manner. “Hey, anonymous asshole throwing stuff, do that to my face and I’ll kick your face in,” Murphy said. “And then I’ll pay your medical bill.”

After the singer’s threatening words the crowd calmed down and he later praised a section of the venue saying, “I like this side because everyone is moshing, boys and girls. And that’s the coolest thing.” LCD Soundsystem’s latest album This Is Happening, released this past year, is said to be the band’s last under that name. Recently they released a new street-jousting music video for the Holy Ghost! remix of their track “Drunk Girls.” [NME]
