Promoters weigh in on chaos at Toronto Jay Reatard show

Jay Reatard's recent ruckus in Toronto continues to cause a stir. Last week we posted Jay's version of the events as he blogged the day after the show. Reatard largely placed the blame on an out of control crowd and Craig Laskey of ATG Concerts. Since then our publicly funded pals at CBC Radio 3 posted a response from ATG owner Jeff Cohen, which you can check out here. Further information on both sides of the story also showed up in Canuck music rag chart.

Of course, this being 2008 we of course have YouTube footage of the fracas. Click below for various vantage points.
