Lucy O'Brien, Q, May 1997
"WHEN WE STARTED, people would throw stuff at us for free. We got $25,000 this time," says Huey, lead singer and guitarist of New York rap-funk rockers Fun Lovin' Criminals, after 1,500 Dutch fans think it's enormous fun to smash beer bottles and send them spinning across the stage towards the band.
