Fall Singer Due In Court To Face Assault Charge

Mark E. Smith, the leader of the long-running British band the Fall, is due in a New York City court today to face a misdemeanor charge of having assaulted his girlfriend, band keyboardist Julia Nagle, last week.

Smith plead not guilty after his arrest last Thursday, the day after the band concluded the final date of its U.S. tour.

At a concert in New York two weeks ago, Smith turned up sporting a black eye which was said to have been the result of Nagle having hit the singer with a telephone.

The Fall's latest album -- their twenty-fifth, entitled "Levitate," is only available in this country as an import.
