Fake band Threating play London for real - "amazingly terrible"

Last year American metal band Threatin made a publicity stunt building a big fake tour online, with shows that actually no one or a only a few people had attended. Some of the shows didn't happen at all. This weekend they played London, for real. NME reported from the show: "The music starts and the curtain drops revealing several creepy, animatronic mannequins decked out in t-shirts that read 'Fake Band'. They sluggishly move about the stage, brandishing their cardboard instruments as Threatin song ‘Impulse’ plays over the PA. Midway through the song [Jared Threatin] walks on stage, flanked by a band wearing t-shirts saying 'not real'. As the song concludes he tells the crowd: 'You are all invisible'. During the next song (‘Fade Into Never’) he presents an ongoing joke where he points the microphone to one of the mannequins and keeps going to take it back and sing…before stopping himself. After 45-minutes Jered finishes the show by smashing up the stage – ripping down his banners and decapitating the mannequins – and then giving a mock bow before walking off stage". There were around 40 people in the crowd, with one of them saying "It was amazingly terrible, it was the worst thing I’ve ever seen and simultaneously the best thing I’ve ever seen”.
