July 2 [12:00 EDT] -- It seemed that some people took the title of Tuesday's K-ROCK Dysfunctional Family Picnic in New York a little too seriously.

A portion of attendees pelted the Foo Fighters, Blur, Bush, and other bands on the bill with plastic bottles, and actually hit Jill Cunniff of Luscious Jackson cutting the band's set short.

The New York-based group had been dodging debris throughout its set, despite the fact that singer/bassist Cunniff greeted the crowd by saying, "Please don't throw anything at us, and we'll love you forever." The comment seemed to encourage trash-hurling crowd members, and LJ's homecoming groove was finally stifled at the beginning of the last song on the set list. As Cunniff and the crew were teaching the crowd the finer points of pogo-ing, a bottle flew from the crowd and hit her in the shoulder, prompting Cunniff to say, "Whoever threw that, you suck," and walk off stage, followed by her bandmates. Cunniff seemed to be physically unharmed,

but more than a little disappointed after the band's set.

While Luscious Jackson was the only band to actually get tagged by the crowd, they certainly weren't the only ones dodging a wave of bottles and promotional Frisbees given out by a local record store.

Bush, which has been hit twice this summer by flying objects while performing, somehow emerged from Tuesday's show unscathed, as did the day's other acts, who each took unique approaches to the mayhem.

Blur bassist Alex James stoically stood with a cigarette dangling from his mouth as trash whizzed past, meanwhile Echo and the Bunnymen frontman Ian McCulloch pointed out to the crowd that, "When you throw bottles on stage, it's not a sign of affection.

The Foo Fighters took the moving target approach to handling the problem as guitarist Pat Smear pulled his trademark hop-and-twist move and head Foo Dave Grohl stomped and thrashed across the stage.

Other than the surprising amount of projectiles

flying overhead, the Picnic was largely a rock-by-the-numbers affair: plenty of crowd surfing, moshing, beach balls, and chanting. The Wave even made an appearance.

Soul Coughing was the only act on the bill to toy with the traditional Big Summer Rock Show conventions as singer/guitarist M. Doughty urged the crowd to "scream something in French," and slipped impromptu lyrics like "with these a**holes moshing in my left ear" into the group's songs. After all, it makes more sense to indulge in the Doughty-lead chant of "candy bar" than it does to throw trash at bands you paid to see.
