Disturbing reports of police violence have come out of a recent show in Houston. San Francisco's Two Gallants and Trainwreck Riders were in town playing at "Walter's," a local bar, and in the midst of the Two Gallants' set a police officer entered the club in response to an alleged noise violation:

two gallants were on their 4th song i believe and a cop shows up for a noise complaint. i think he went to the soundboard first. he then heads to the stage. he has some wrds with the singer adam and then the cop grabs his guitar. adam pulls it back and then the cop grabs him around the head and takes him down.
[…]
then the cop turns on my friend greg who is taking pics and says 'stop touching me' or something like that and knocks greg's camera out of his hand. great is all like what the ####? and then the cop jumps off stage and starts pushing greg in the chest across the room while greg is just backing away. he eventually backs greg into that corner where everybody puts their instruments (to the right of the stage) and pushes him down into a pile of drums. people freak out and about 20 people rush over there including the dudes from the opening band and adam and tyson.
[…]
but i guess everyone was just standing around yelling or something so anyway the cop manages his way out of that pack and then starts chasing adam. adam runs across the stage and around the back of the bar with the cop right after him. he runs behind the bar and jumps over the front of the bar and runs out the door and down the street. the cop comes back around the door and is yelling at everyone to leave. he then walks outside and grabs tyson and cuffs him. he tells tyson something like he is being arrasted for what his buddy did.

The full account, including a video of the officer and pictures can be seen at this MySpace profile. It is being reported that the officer indeed used a taser to disperse the crowd after pushing the photographer into the drums, including using it on a 14 year old youth at the club.

Update: Our fine readers have pointed us towards this MySpace blog, which has more video and pictures of the event. As of this writing Tyson, Two Gallants' drummer, is still being held in custody by police.
