The summer festival season is nearing a close, but not without a GALANG after indie Sri Lankan hip-hopper M.I.A. got kicked off stage at Scottland’s 2007 Connect Festival this past weekend, and thanks to YouTube, we’ve got footage!
Here’s what we hear happend: M.I.A. invited an equally colorful and energetic festival crowd on stage to be her back-up dancers during her new single “Bird Flu” off her recently released album Kala, only to be kicked off stage mid-set by ____ (we’re still unsure of who, officially, pulled the plug).
“I didn’t walk off. I got chucked off,” says M.I.A. on her MySpace blog. “You were worth getting kicked off for.”
