More on West Hollywood VS Pennywise
Some more information about the city of West Hollywood cancelling the Pennywise show. Tower Records (the venue) has said that the cancellation was prompted by rowdiness at the band's Key Club show last week. Laurie Miller, office manager at Tower regional offices stated that "It got kind of ugly. There was stage diving and craziness and not enough security." Store manager Jay Smith said the store and city were on the same page with safety as priority. The band and Epitaph dispute the account of the Key Club chaos, but the show has already been moved. Pennywise guitarist Fletcher Dragge made this comment, "We live in a city where the cops are on trial for framing people, shooting people and robbing banks, and they think we're the ones that pose a problem. It's ridiculous."
