Radical human rights band, Perico, were yesterday caught up in the controversial Olympic torch relay protests after Rolling Stone Journalist, Damo Wilding, misheard Perico drummer Col's support for free bets, as support for Tibet.
"Not that I don't support a free Tibet" he declared. "But a free bet is really something to savour."
Pressed on the issue, Col admitted that he was partial to an economic boycott of China.
"I don't think I'll buy Chinese goods anymore - I'll just restrict myself to Italian shoes from now on."
Perico members ran an alternative torch relay on the weekend through the streets of Brunswick to co-incide with ANZAC Day.
"We kept the flame going all through the weekend." explained Greggy A, "which was kinda handy when I couldn't find my lighter."
Perico play the Noise Bar this Saturday night.
