In case you missed it: 'Sophia got carried away': Police report filed after singer urinates on willing fan at Rockvilleįollowing the incident, the band posted an apology, of sorts, via Twitter: "We had a great time last night at Welcome to Rockville. Likewise, publicity representatives for the band also haven’t responded to emails seeking comment or an interview with Urista or other band members.Īs audience members watched and videoed on Thursday night, Urista urinated on a willing male fan who rested face up on stage as the band performed Rage Against the Machine's "Wake Up," videos on social media show. Shields didn’t respond to a voicemail message on Monday seeking comment by a News-Journal reporter. Beyond that, we’re not giving any further comment on this matter.” “We tried calling her back twice and received no response. They ain’t selling out halls and theaters.“She spoke to a county dispatcher initially,” Bendayan said. (I’ve been in and around it for 30+ years, I’m not just a random pervo talking about naked famous people.) Unless they’ve got a super powerful manager or a band member related to someone very wealthy or famous, it’s time to do what they’ve been doing and eat enough humble pie to choke a donkey.īut to give you an idea of where they are on the totem pole, their next gig is at St Vitus in NYC which is a tiny metal/punk room. They’ve got zero hit songs, zero hit albums, and are only touring because people like Rage Against The Machine liked them on social media. They can’t afford to get mixed up in the GG Allin file or its over. These guys do fun brass covers of your favorite metal songs. Now she’s apologized, too,and part of that was (and there it is) “we’re not a shock band.”ĭillinger Escape Plan? Extreme metal band. She was a contestant on a reality singing show not that many years ago. That could very well have been career suicide.įour years is nothing, and this is their first decent sized tour. They’re a really, really new, minor league band. All because she was drunk/stoned and decided to engage in a fetish in front of a festival crowd. Likely illegal, could have put her and the entire band in jail, could have gotten them sued by the promoter, could have gotten the entire EVENT shut down by backwater law enforcement.

That was an extremely stupid thing to do. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them fire her over this. Sounds silly, but a lot of these multi day fests happen at raceways so they just lost a ton of cash over this. Nascar has already knee-jerk banned them from ever playing at any of their facilities. Ticket sales are through the roof, though it may be short lived. The band have made it clear: they didn’t know it was gonna happen, they’re pissed (pun intended) that it happened, they apologized, and it’ll never ever happen again. Didn’t read the link but a little follow up:
