The Horrors share photo from ‘awkward’ meeting with Jay-Z

Band met the rapper in New York in 2006

The Horrors have shared a throwback picture of the time they met Jay-Z, revealing that the exchange with the rapper was “a little awkward”.

The London-based band released their fifth record ‘V’ last month (September 22), the follow-up to 2014’s ‘Luminous’. ‘V’ spawned the singles ‘Machine’‘Something To Remember Me By’ and ‘Weighed Down’.

Now the group have taken to Twitter to post a photo of frontman Faris Badwan and bassist Rhys Webb having a picture taken with Jay-Z in 2006. The encounter took place at the Island/Def Jam HQ in New York.

“If you couldn’t tell from the photo, the exchange was a little awkward,” the band wrote in a caption. See below.

Meanwhile, The Horrors recently spoke to NME about some of their weirdest rider requests.

“We always ask for a surprise,” singer Faris Badwan said, “and we’ve had some great ones – we had a girl dressed as a cat in a crate once. They left a crate in the dressing room, with a girl dressed as a crate in it. We realised there was someone in the crate, so we just left it shut and didn’t open it for the whole time, and she was forced to just sit there for about an hour and a half.”
