Following a £7000 wrecking spree at its Liverpool branch in November, The View have been banned from the Travelodge chain and asked to pay for the damage caused.
Following a gig with Primal Scream at the Liverpool Academy, a member of the band allegedly put his duvet in the bath and turned on the taps before running off, causing several rooms to flood. Travelodge spokesperson Greg Dawson told The Daily Record: "The View are banned from every Travelodge in the country. We don't care who they are, they acted offensively and were anti-social to other residents. They are not welcome back."
While being banned from an entire hotel chain is fairly impressive, The View have got a way to go before they beat some of rock's best-known destructive bands. Led Zeppelin drove motorbikes through the Hyatt Hotel in Hollywood, while The Who's Keith Moon regularly used to practise his demolition techniques on hotels in the early 70s.

I'm very proud of this. It amused me to hear what the View did and made me like them more.

On the jackass meter for bad band behavior, this is pretty mild, but maybe it will usher in a new era of bands wrecking low rent flop houses.
