Rave Tales is a new feature on FACT – and, where possible, FACT TV – where we ask an artist for an anecdote from their time playing gigs. The gnarlier the better. 

After the first instalment with MK, we cornered UK hardcore legends 2 Bad Mice about the wildest things they’ve ever seen playing gigs. You can watch their anecdotes above, featuring the mafia, stolen tour buses, guns and a lot of blood, and for something (marginally) more serious, you can watch FACT TV’s recent in-depth interview with the group about the history of the UK rave scene, their early days working at Moving Shadow, braving Smash Hits and more here.

2 Bad Mice will play Wales’ Gottwood Festival later this month, with Luke Vibert, Ben UFO and more.
