Beloved purveyors of indie rock for grandmas, The Shins, have had their shiny image mussed with this blog entry from onetime Next Top Model contestant Elyse Sewell:

On the drive home (home?) from Albuquerque to Portland, my ex-boyfriend got shitfaced and roughed me up in a Sacramento hotel. I escaped from the room through a blitzkrieg of violence and talked to hotel security, who called the fuzz.

Sewell's "ex-boyfriend" is Martin Crandall, keyboardist for the easy-to-like band made famous by the equally easy-to-like Garden State.

When police arrived, Sewell and Crandall both pressed charges. Crandall remains in jail, unable to post the $25,000 bail. (Nice band mates!)
