The Veronicas & Azaria Byrne

princess829 "A ROCK star was born at The Pixies’ Melbourne show on Saturday night. There was blood and sweat but surprisingly no tears when The Art frontman Azaria Byrne took a blow to the head from his bandmate’s guitar and managed to stay on stage for the entire set. The on/off boyfriend of Veronicas twin Jess Origliasso, Byrne, whose Sydney rock band has supported The Pixies on their Australian tour, was accidentally hit in the forehead during one of their “more aggressive” tunes. “We were playing our third song and I went over to rock out with KJ and she didn’t see me there,” Byrne told Confidential yesterday. “Her bass clipped me and gashed my head.” The rocker said a crew member briefly stopped the blood flow and he stayed on for another 35 minutes. “I was pouring blood all over the stage but the crowd couldn’t see, unless they were in the mosh, because the stage is so big.” Onsite paramedics put three stitches in his head following the show. “In the past we never used to finish a show without some sort of blood so I thought it was fine -it’s what we do,” he laughed. The Queenslander will be reunited with Jess later this month when she and sister Lisa return from the US, where they are writing and recording their third album. The pocket rockets will attend Byron Bay’s Blues and Roots festival, where Lisa’s boyfriend Reeve Carney is performing." -source: theveronicasnation.com
