Wow! I thought that sort of thing didn't happen any more! Ridiculous.




Scat-O-Logy

Stockholm Straight Edge cancelled Kickback gig and gave the following statement:

"We have chosen to cancel the concert with Kickback based upon their statements that go against our democratic foundation. Their statements are both over-the-top sexistic and glorify drug abuse. Stockholm Straight Edge is a feministic and drugfree organizing crew, which means we don't invite bands to perform at our events if they don't share our point of view."

I know, this happens all the time but I still find it quite irritating.

"...we don't invite bands to perform at our events if they don't share our point of view". Jeez!

Hopefully Kickback can perform in Finland at least.

Actually, that's okay. I've thought for a long time that any organisation that puts in the hours and the bucks to do things, like host bands in this case, have the right to make calls regarding who they associate with and why. The UK anarcho-band Conflict had an Australian tour of theirs' cancelled when the promoters heard a song of theirs that was against Muslim refugees. The promoters took offence and dropped the tour. To their credit, the Conflict people understood, claiming on their site (this was a couple of years ago, I don't have a link right now and couldn't find the site today) that the promoters had the right to cancel tours for whatever reason. I thought that was a pretty mature approach, certainly since they would have known that song would have ruffled feathers.

Seems to me that  these promoters need to go over every single song lyric & interview with a fine-tooth comb before booking any band.

Yeah, cancelling an entire tour over one song makes total sense.

Love this thread, got me to join the forum in fact.

How about all those boyd rice cancellations? and the most absurd comment sections currently online.

"One survey in the early 1920′s found only 36% of the respondents were willing to live next door to a Finn. Signs [in taverns] could be found declaring "No Indians or Finns allowed."

finns, what a dirty, stinky folk

hallo, no offence but I have been straight edge since my early teens, I am 40 and I am no "faggot", whatever you mean with it, or at least I do not think I am ;).
so are not people I have been hanging around., there seems to ba a difference between people who just has a lifestyle, and those who follow an "underground religion" (like these Swedes) which seems to be a problem of most subcultures.

anyway, the video you posted made me crack.
