That's fucking ridiculous; I don’t know any details other than what was in that article. This shit has got to stop…

"We are deeply saddened by the tragic events that have occurred. Our condolences go out to the family of the victim.

We would like to thank our friends, family, and all the employees of DC9. DC9 is a special environment of some of strongest friendships that could only be compared to a close family, which we consider ourselves.

We very much look forward to our day in court

Stand strong bars & stars"


We apologize to the family, but we roll deep so fuck you we'll see you in court.

theyre now reporting this guy was in police custody outside the venue for over 45 mins!

smells fishy

BDx13 - 10-15-2010 at 01:47 PM

It was club staff that did that?
Peace out, DC9.

JawnDiablo - 10-15-2010 at 02:00 PM

AF is playing in Philly tonight.
I am too lazy to go.
My excuse is VIP is like 16 minutes long and it's gonna take longer than that to park down there.....

i mean, they did this show and the business. Thats the only two good ones in some 5 years of being open.

the red and black and palace of wonders (on h st, in NE) are set to open as one bar this week (they were enxt door) called the Red Palace. Upstaris will have a stage and like 300 capacity.
There's also the rock n roll hotel, which i'd imagine is over 600.

but why do bands skip dc so much?
thats easy.


BALTIMORE!

BDx13 - 10-15-2010 at 03:14 PM

juan, tonight's show is at the north star bar, isn't it? parking shouldn't be bad over there. well, 'bad' meaning hard to find. it's definitely 'bad' as in risky.

definitely wild that dc doesn't have more venues for our kind of shows.
i guess 930 and black cat aren;t so hardcore any more?

JawnDiablo - 10-15-2010 at 04:01 PM

yeah the north star.
I was gonna go but now i just dont wanna go anywhere

DaveMoral - 10-15-2010 at 06:22 PM

Fucking A! I'm outta the loop. Didn't know AF was playing tonight. Guess I'm shit outta luck on that... plus, me too lazy for shows. Oh, and broke.

On that note, this shit is outta hand. Bouncers/security have almost always been a real pain in that ass at hardcore shows, now this.

wez138 - 10-15-2010 at 06:42 PM

I always try and steer clear of any venue with bouncers/security for gigs for this exact thing. I've been attending punk/hardcore gigs for around 14-15 years now and can honestly say in that time it only ever gets hostile or kicks off when bouncers or security are present. I however am not generalising as it's not my thing! But yeah I've seen more violence at venues with bouncers/security present at gigs than I have without.

JawnDiablo - 10-15-2010 at 07:03 PM

the last AF show I was at a couple years ago at Dobbs had some total ass hole mutant bouncers just lookin to hurt people.
it ruined a lot of it.

wez138 - 10-15-2010 at 07:20 PM

Yeah..........It happened when AF played here at an all day event called City invasion. They also beat the shit out of one of the members of the Radio dead one's because they thought he was trying to sneek in booze instead of finding out the facts that the venue owner had agreed with the band about them getting their own booze and being allowed to drink it back stage. As the night drew shorter they (The bouncers) got more and more aggressive towards the crowd, in and outside the venue. The pinnacle of the night was when 5 fully grown door"men" starting picking on a young (14-15yr olds) crusty couple, all because the girl had had to much to drink and wanted to sit outside against the wall next to the entrance, 1 of the doormen/bouncers exact words was "Move that fucking slag now before I do". What pissed me off the most was that out of the all the people stood outside who witnessed it only 1 person said anything! ME.

gavin - 10-16-2010 at 02:01 AM

no one died tonight

JawnDiablo - 10-16-2010 at 10:26 AM

how was it G?
I should have went but decided I didn't want to go anywhere last night.

gavin - 10-16-2010 at 10:46 AM

it was ok at best.....set list was real cool.....all of victim, united blood ep, 4 or 5 from cause for alarm...crucified....a couple of newer ones....the sound was fucked....not sure why but it was all off to me....they have some younger dude playing drums who was real good....

BDx13 - 10-18-2010 at 03:03 PM

it's interesting that those involved are so adamant about their innocence. seems cut and dry, but maybe not everything is out yet.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/10...

also, this story really has nothing to do with AF and Mother of Mercy, and frankly, they don't deserve to be included in every friggin headline about this. this is not a knock against you, danny, but all of the music news websites out there that have been using similar headlines really shouldn't have been. i mean, it is of interest to us only because of who was on the bill that night, but the show was over and the venue likely empty by the time this happened. coulda been anyone playing there that night.

BDx13 - 10-18-2010 at 03:03 PM

and gavin, you gotta let us know when you're going out to a show!

I knew! I texted him about OFF being on Carson Daly and Mr. Gavin was out painting the town red!

JawnDiablo - 10-18-2010 at 03:35 PM

i woulda left my living room had i known....

gavin - 10-18-2010 at 03:49 PM

it was a total last min thing...i was about to leave for work, called them, found out it was dead and said "cool, im not comin then" and went to the show

Colin - 10-18-2010 at 04:36 PM

it's cool when a club hires bouncers who are into the scene & music & aren't there just looking for problems. Got a little roughed up by bouncers at a Youth Brigade show last year, but I was asking for it in retrospect, I was heckling some kids in the pit who kept running into me while I was trying to stand to the side (1 drunk retard spilt my last beer all over tireironsaint, who did not look happy). I did think it was funny that they had 3 guys twice my size punching & kicking me on the ground, 1 of those goons could have easily just tossed me out the door onto the sidewalk

It's like the old Ron White joke: "I didn't know how many of 'em it was gonna take to kick my ass, but I knew how many they was gonna use..."

JawnDiablo - 10-18-2010 at 07:20 PM

I wouldn't have gone .....
I texted a bunch of dudes to go earlier int he week and then said, na not going.
I'm a dick

i agree with dreadlock man at 1:25, "that's kinda shaky right thurr. somethin don't seems right about that sitchyation."

DaveMoral - 11-9-2010 at 01:37 PM

^I'm with dreadlock man too.

barc0debaby - 11-9-2010 at 05:45 PM

Uhhh yeah we couldn't tell how this guy died. For all we know he had frostbite, pneumonia, and a stroke. At the same time.


Who the hell is their coroner? I could do a better job with my two semesters of junior college education.

Johnny_Whistle - 11-9-2010 at 06:28 PM

Five bouncers chase a guy down the street and stomp him, and then he dies. But no, it was probably the smoking that killed him.

Well played, US Attorney...

clevohardcore - 11-10-2010 at 01:38 AM

We can all speculate. Who knows what was found during autopsy.

"Inconclusive" evidence, obviously.
