Macaulay Culkin's band was booed off stage at Nottingham Rock City at the weekend after fans took exception to the performance.

The Home Alone star and his bandmates abandoned the show, which was part of the Dot to Dot festival, after just 15 minutes, following a stage invasion and interruption of Culkin's kazoo solo. The reaction came despite a promise of free pizza for fans in the crowd.

The Nottingham Post reports that the boos began after the first song of the set, and members of the crowd then threw full pints of beer at the band. “Why are you throwing those?" Culkin reportedly said. "I’d rather drink them!"

The Pizza Underground, which parodies songs by the Velvet Underground and changes lyrics to make them pizza-themed, has a repertoire that includes songs such as It's a Pizza Day, I'm Waiting for Delivery Man, Pizza Gal and Take a Bite of the Wild Slice. Culkin is credited as contributing percussion, kazoo and vocals. Some of the band's percussion work takes the form of banging on pizza boxes.

The incident in Nottingham is not the first time the Pizza Underground have received a cold response on stage. At Manchester's Zoo on Friday the audience reaction was reported to be similar.

I didn't know Macaulay Culkin had a band.  I have just one response to that ...

Kazoos...in a rock band?  ::) I can't imagine why the reaction!  ::) I didn't know he had a band either.

Oh man, I love comedy shows!

This is Nottingham, not L.A., sh*t's not gonna fly, Mac!
::)

there should be a minimum standard before a bunch of people messing around with instruments on a stage can legally be called a "band."

That's probably how he got booed off.  People in the audience chanting "Hey Mac, do that thing with your face!"

Mac, trying to distance himself from the "Home Alone" stereotype, refuses and so the crowd goes bonkers.

Gary Coleman had the same difficulty with people every day exhorting him to "say it"... "Whatchu talkin' about, Willis?"
