Blessthefall & BTE assaulted

2009-04-21 by ToWhatEnd | 24 Comments
Members of Blessthefall and Before Their Eyes were verbally harassed and physically battered by security guards at The Loft in Poghkeepsie, N.Y. on April 20. According to a recent band blog, the disagreement began directly after Before Their Eyes' set. The group paused unloading their gear on the rainy evening until their tour van pulled up.

Angered by the delay, a security guard at the venue allegedly began screaming and pushing Jaret, BTE's drummer. More security got involved and one member of BTE was thrown down a stair set while another member of BTF was shoved against the staircase wall. After failed attempts at peace, Beau, the lead singer of BTF, eventually cracked a security guard with an elbow. Chaos ensued from there as Jaret was eventually taken to the ground and stomped on. His head was split open and he later received stitches. Police were eventually called to the scene, and needless to say, Blessthefall did not perform.

Both bands are continuing their opening slots on the Silverstein tour, which wraps up at the Bamboozle Festival in New Jersey. For the funnier version of this story and some charming photos, please visit Blessthefall's myspace page.

yeah if a security guard did that shit to my band i have a feeling he'd be the one with stitches in his head. it's good that they kept their cool for so long though.

Fuck those security guards. Before Their Eyes is a good band and, I'm hopeful that Blessthefall is a bit better with Beau as their new lead.

i don't get how the hell, being a little late or whatever can resort to this. it's people like these security guards that cause half the shit in news with the murders and robberies and shit.

I'm using a Windows keyboard on a Mac. I didn't check my post so I didn't notice that the question mark key makes a semi-colon, and if the wrong punctuation hadn't come up that capital letter would be right. I wasn't knitpicking I was lamely attempting humour, sorry for being a jackass.

The guard was probably listening to their music and WANTED TO BE AS HARDCORE AS THEM

I interpreted as humor and laughed but I can see how it could be interpreted negatively.

Also, funny/painful story.

I'm amazed someone hasn't come up with something to tag something as sarcasm yet.
