Fielding insists 'Boosh' are rock

Noel Fielding has argued that The Mighty Boosh is more "rock 'n' roll" than most bands.

He claimed that the cast of the comedy series, which won Best TV Show at this week's NME Awards, could outdo musicians at traditional rock star behaviour.

Speaking at the awards, Fielding said: "We’re going to get drunk. We’re pretty rock 'n' roll - we sometimes out-rock 'n' roll the other bands.

"Some bands are really boring these days. They’re more worried about their hair!"

However, the comedian praised veteran solo star Billy Bragg for his "wild" actions at the ceremony.

He commented: "We were on Billy Bragg’s table though and he’s pretty wild. As soon as I got to the table he punched me to a corner and covered me in sick. Not his own, he’d been carrying someone else’s around in a bag."
