Long-shot but since I have to miss the DG Boston show I need to get rid of my ticket, if anyone's interested I'd let it go for face - $5 goon discount.

they'v never had a history of cancelling shows. they must have really been affected by that note. kind of lovely that the crowd destroyed their equipment.

I'm sure they were affected but the canceling and all is probably just Death Grips being Death Grips.

Quantum of Phallus posted:Is this post for real yeah? they don't have a history with standing up gigs. and destroying someone else's stuff cause your mad (while a totally death grips thing to do) is lovely. But now i know that email is a month old i'll give that to you. new album coming out and a band like this thrives on controversy.

Drake Bate posted:yeah? they don't have a history with standing up gigs. They most definitely do, I went to a different gig the night they were supposed to play in Dublin a few years back but they never turned up and didn't inform the management that they wouldn't be arriving.

They're still a hard confirm for gently caress yeah fest, they just FB posted the date.

Um http://pitchfork.com/news/51802-death-grips-never-planned-on-actually-appearing-at-their-scheduled-shows/ quote:You may recall that Death Grips bailed on their Chicago show and Lollapalooza set. Before venue employees at Chicago's Bottom Lounge announced that the band wouldn't be playing, pre-recorded Death Grips music played over the speakers, and there was a giant screenshot of an emailed suicide note. They weren't in Chicago, and according to Consequence of Sound, this was the band's plan. Recorded music, an unmanned drum set, and a giant suicide note. That's the show.

I know they aren't supposed to give a gently caress or whatever, but god drat that's pretty stupid. Bailing on their paying fans ![]()

Yeah, it's one thing to gently caress over a label like they did with the who NLDW thing, but when it's the fans? Bit of a lovely thing to do really. EDIT: Not that I'm actually surprised. In fact, I'm more surprised they haven't done this already. Whorelord fucked around with this message at 01:07 on Aug 7, 2013 |

I'm starting to think they actually don't like their fanbase at all.

I'm glad there is someone in music doing this stuff. It's interesting. I just don't want it to, or think it'll spread to other acts.

It's much more interesting than Jay-Z performing Picasso Baby in an art museum for 8 straight hours, that's for loving sure

I actually think its really punk to have your fans go "yeahhh gently caress those record execs!! serves em right to get hosed around" and then do the exact same thing to them, its like the definition of punk.
