Falconer motorbike stunt

The View frontman Kyle Falconer has revealed how he was once banned from a Scottish pub because he drove a motorbike along the bar.

The incident took place while he and guitarist Pete Reilly were having a drinking session at their Dundee local, The Doghouse. Reilly said that the band would rehearse at the pub into the small hours, adding that one night things got rowdy and "Kyle drove a scooter along the bar".

Falconer said: "It wasn't a scooter, it was a motorbike. We were obsessed with scooters for a while and I got f***ed up so I drove it along the bar."

Drummer Steven Morrison added that he was once arrested after partying with Pete Doherty: "I was hanging round with him and he said, 'Do you want to go and see Dirty Pretty Things to p**s Carl Barat off?' So he went out and bought a Jaguar! We were flying round the streets and couldn't find the place," he told Maxim.

"We were literally about 100 yards from the venue and we got surrounded by these blue flashing lights and arrested. We spent 12 hours in the police station."

The Dundonian group recently revealed that they regularly receive gifts from members of the Japanese mafia, after being refused entry into the country because of Falconer's 2007 conviction for cocaine possession
