Girls throw themselves at The Wombats

The Wombats have revealed that hordes of girls are throwing themselves at them since the band became a success.

The Liverpool trio, whose single 'Let's Dance To Joy Division' won Best Dancefloor Filler at the NME awards, are enjoying the attention.

Speaking to The Sun, lead singer Matt Murphy said: "It's definitely a lot easier but we don't see ourselves as rock 'n' rollers chasing anything that moves."

Bass player Tord Øverland-Knudsen admitted: "If we wanted to get laid every single night - we could."

Drummer Dan Haggis said he had an embarrassing experience in front of his family.

"I was stripped and spanked by a stripper in front of my family. Mum, Dad, Grandma, the lot."

He added: "My granny was so shocked and confused about what the hell was happening."
