HammondDave Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 There is no excuse for professional musicians to flaunt such behavior in front of an audience, especially when flaunting binge drinking and basic sloppy drunk and unprofessional behavior.

ElmerJFudd Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I think he's saying the backline provider has taken the high road, or at the very least protected himself from scrutiny and possible reverse legal attack for bad mouthing the band professionally? Who knows. But apparently he wants their business again and maybe next time around be can trust they won't trash his stuff. I'm sure the band has agreed to pay for the damage, was already in their contract I would hope. Yamaha CP88, Casio PX-560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know what a tosser is but i know it's not good. I checked out some videos of the Budos Band and they have a tight and unique sound but i don't get trashing equipment. I assume tossers is losers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows. But apparently he wants their business again and maybe next time around be can trust they won't trash his stuff. I'm sure the band has agreed to pay for the damage, was already in their contract I would hope. The "backline provider" was the individual Justin Smith who I talked about in my post. He quite possibly did this gratis, without contract because he knows some of the people in the band and I believe his band played prior on that date. Whether Budos actually pays up is another story. Even with contracts you're talking possible legal action to get any money out of these guys. Busch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timwat Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 My esteem for Justin Smith has only increased. My estimation of Mike Dellar and the Budos remains unchanged. One trusts that life is a long time, and will go easier for someone who is kind, gracious and chooses the high road. Dellar and the Budos? May they get everything they deserve. ..

Chris Link Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Craig Jewell from the Facebook comments for the band: "I'm the talent buyer of the festival where this happened and at a venue where they played before. That was hands down the worst performance by any band I have ever seen in my life on all levels. Completely out of tune, no one knowing where they were at, and they were constantly screaming into the mics at a piercing level. Also, to make it absolutely clear, destroying that keyboard was 100% intentional. Once Mike got off stage, he was asked by our staff, "why did you destroy that keyboard?" Mike replied, "that's what I fucking do, fuck off." Fuck him, fuck that band, do not book them or support them." aka âmisterdregsâ Nord Electro 5D 73 Yamaha P105 Kurzweil PC3LE7 Motion Sound KP200S Schimmel 6-10LE QSC CP-12 Westone AM Pro 30 IEMs Rolls PM55P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budos Band is a very good band, with high musicianship and very nice discography. If the keyboard guy's an a**, this is another story... My recollection is Townsend trashed his own guitars and amps and the cost of replacements near!y put the band out of business. If the Badass Band are paying for repairs to the Vox then I guess management will have a reality check with them about the cost of trashing hired equipment.

MuzikTeechur Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Yes, other musicians have destroyed instruments, set them on fire, and otherwise abused them. If this Vox belonged to the douchebag in question, we'd all have a collective *gasp!* and say what a waste of a great vintage instrument it was. The douchebaggery comes in when we find that this is a borrowed instrument and that the guy did it on purpose. "That's what I do, man!" I guess I missed that day in performance class when they covered "destroying your instrument for Art." Also, those other (real) musicians destroyed their instruments at the END of the show, not in lieu of actually playing them. Muzikteechur is Lonnie, in Kittery, Maine.

I can hardly believe that there are defenders of this extreme jerk, including some people in this thread who want to excuse it as a "mistake." This guy is very clearly a total asshole. He should be punished severely so that he never thinks of doing anything like this ever again. With his own gear, fine. I don't care. But with borrowed rare and vintage gear? He should experience some negative consequences. If he doesn't, he will surely do it again. See the quote above. He does not give a shit. He should made to give one.

EscapeRocks Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Word has it that their label (Daptone Records, Neal Sugarman) and their agency (Monterey International) are not happy. At first it was just a little negative press, which is still press. However, many promoters have now chimed in saying they will never book these guys now that the rumored stories of their antics at shows (not just this incident) have been brought to light with video proof. oops. From the artists page on Monterey International : ".....They still rehearse religiously almost every week, even if some of those rehearsals encompass just as much drinking, socializing, and listening to music as actual practice. That camaraderie doesn't evaporate when they put their instruments down. On tour, they hit a brewery or pub for lunch en masse before sound check whenever possible, and like to stir up trouble. There are dust-ups and reconciliations....." David Gig Rig:Roland Fantom 08 | Roland Jupiter 80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEMcCut Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I checked out Budos on Facebook. There were comments on the bass player and what a f'n badass he is because he isn't looking at his fingers. He plays the same three notes repeatedly for 3:45 minutes of the 3:53 minute song Black Venom. I don't know if all of their songs are like this. One song was all I could handle.
