British Rocker Noel Gallagher Gave An Unsigned Band A Harsh Lesson After They Handed Him One Of Their Demos During A U.s. Gig Over The Weekend (06-07jun15), Declaring They Would Be "Going Nowhere" Unless They Put Their Contact Details On Their Cds.

In video footage of the show, which has appeared online, he says, "When you're giving away CDs of your s**t, there's not even a f**king name of who it is, or what it's called, or a phone number, or nothing.
