Svelte Destroys Latest Dimmer Album...

Svelte's lovable but often clumsy lead singer, Tim Stewart, has reportedly destroyed a brand new copy of Dimmer's latest album during an interview at Radio Active. The incident occurred during the off-air banter that DJ's and bands often engage in - usually while advertisements are playing. Tim was handed a brand new copy of Dimmer's latest offering in order to examine the non-existent CD-face artwork. "It all happened so fast' explained Tim. "When I didn't cup the cardboard packaging with both hands, I knew I was in real trouble".

The owner of the CD, Radio Active’s Damian Christie, politely dismissed the accident despite witnessing the cardboard being crumpled in half as the singer tried to catch the tumbling CD - effectively 'clapping' and therefore crushing the cardboard cover in a rather forceful manner against his thigh.

Svelte's guitarist, Ben Sciascia, also witnessed the accident and felt alcohol could've been to blame. "Alcohol was definitely a contributing factor, as was speed. If only he'd used both hands initially, then he wouldn't have fumbled and destroyed the artwork in such a brutal and final manner" Ben said on Monday.

Ironically, the cover artwork clearly depicts a pair of cupped hands, as if demonstrating the proper way to receive a beautiful cardboard gift.

Hahahaha

Funny that.

I was just talking the other day about annoying CD's with no artwork or text on them. A chick where I work was trying to find her CD for me because I wanted to hear Dimmer before I saw them live in ChCh.... she couldn't locate it without getting all her "misc" CD's on her spindle and playing them first. Mightily annoying.

On a side note, I didn't find the show too inspiring (and I'm a fan of atmospheric & moody dark rock like that).
