Quote : | "Really shitty news coming out of Texas last night: it seems Screeching Weasel frontman Ben Weasel aka Ben Foster lost control of himself and punched two girls in the crowd last night. A video of the incident is below.
According to Jim Rogatis of WBEZ, Foster had been pissed off all day about having to play the industry-centric event. After playing a vitriolic set, punctuated by various rants (centring on music critics, but we aren't taking it personally) someone threw a beer at him.
In Rogatis' words, which you can read by clicking this link, this is what happened next: "Weasel puffed out his chest and talked tough, threatening to beat up whoever had doused him. When someone shouted that it had been a girl, he joked that he couldn’t hit a girl, but he could hire another girl to do it. Then a woman threw an ice cube that hit him in the eye.
"At that point, according to club booker Rufus Raxlen, numerous concertgoers, and security guards interviewed by this reporter and Martens, Weasel yelled at the woman; she spat at him, and then he jumped offstage and punched her in the face. One security guard said the girl was a friend of the venue’s owner, and when that woman stepped in to intervene, Weasel swung at her, too, before he was hustled out of the venue." |
Not something I condone, but not as bad when put in context.

So they re-broke up because of that incident.
I guess as the frontman for a band you have to expect some heckling incidences and some will be worse than others. It's a shame security didn't snatch that girl out of there before the incident escalated, but I do think he should have kept his cool. It's hard for me to condemn anyone for acting out of line after having stuff thrown at him and being spat on though. 3/24/2011 2:45:01 PM |

So many Screeching Weasel fans here...damn.
Does anyone still listen to Against Me! ? They sorta flamed out after breaking through in the middle of last decade. I remember seeing them at a show when I lived in Tampa, FL where they left after 3 songs because a kid stole a couple snares as soon as they let kids on the stage to stage dive.
I've been watching the riots in London and listening to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OGFIugDX8Q 8/11/2011 1:56:00 PM |

Some bands that impressed me when I saw them as opening acts for bigger bands...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyIs0udW-C0&feature=related
Swingin Utters - Last Chance. I think these guys opened for The Queers in 1994 or something at the Cat's Cradle. It was the first big punk rock show I went to. My friend had just got his drivers license and his mom let us take her minivan, lol.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KeA7PSPPu4&feature=related
Suicide Machines - The Vans Song. Saw these guys open for Rancid around 1995 at the place that is now City Limits. I can't remember what it was called back then. My older brother was a freshman at NCSU and he walked to Schoolkids Records and bought the tickets for me. I guess I was a sophomore in high school at the time. My parents totally let me drive to Raleigh on a school night. It was so punk rock!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjU1cP1wgk8&feature=related
The Briggs - Keep Us Alive. Another band that I saw as an opening act at the Cat's Cradle. They opened for Against Me! a while back and I bought this album.

was out of town for that show, and i STILL haven't seen cam sing for -/-. i'm really bummed i missed sickoids, too. that drummer is beyond awesome. my new band is playing with dub neg and raw nerve (on their last tour) at kings next week. http://www.facebook.com/events/363336667024254/
but raleigh hardcore is pretty ridiculous right now. lots of young kids are stepping up HARD. tons of new bands and new people and new enthusiasm. and the new stripmines lp is a scorcher! full stream here: http://sorrystaterecords.bandcamp.com/album/crimes-of-dispassion 4/1/2012 10:52:20 PM |

Sweet. I actually missed stripmines and the sickoids. I'm debating starting a hardcore band actually, but that remains to be seen. I heard that double negative show had the most people at axe manor ever, it was like 50 degrees outside and probably 100 degrees inside. Fucking rad as shit
Ill probably come to your show if I'm not BROKE.
