The Maccabees' Hugo White injured his back in a game of cricket just before they were to play their slot at T In The Park.

His brother, Felix, explained what happened to NME.COM in a video interview interview you can watch below.

"We decided to play cricket and it was all going well," he said. "Hugo bowled the ball and done his back in, and now he's in first aid getting that looked at."

Fortunately the band were able to overcome the injury in time to play their set in the King Tut's Wah Wah Tent (July 10).

More shitty bands like these need to get injured so they can no longer pollute the world with their crappy music
