Fuck alexisonfire

A friend of mine booked alexisonfire to play Windsor on September 6th. Naturally we got an opening spot for the show. So, like any hardworking band would do, we made posters and put them up all over the city to promote the show. The poster had big alexisonfire logo with a picture of them, and our band, on it below. There is a ton of other bands on the gig, but since we're the ones putting the money into nice posters, we didn't put their names on. Just us, aof, the date and whatever other info was on them.

Today, my guitarist gets a call from the company promoting the show, and tells us we're kicked off the bill. alexisonfire complained about the posters having their name on them without their permission and said if we weren't kicked off the show, they wouldn't play. So obviously we get kicked off.

Am I wrong for thinking they are a bunch of faggots? Not only is their music shit, but they are fuckin douchebags too. Who complains about their show being promoted? For free. Ridiculous man.

:mad:

I hope they don't think the people that bought tickets for us are still going. :rolleyes: I've already started giving people their money back. $25 a ticket too. They're going to lose out on a couple grand because of their piece of shit rockstar attitudes. Fuck em.

Wait, what? They were the headlining band and they complained about having their name advertised? That's uh... Nothing big, you know... Except that's how you get people to bloody come to the show in the first place!
 
well, i've heard of them and also heard they are shit so i dunno...that's pretty fuckin stupid though, having you guys kicked cause of a little free promotion...

Banned?
Well, they are a shit band. However, putting that aside, are you sure it's the BAND who said that and not their record label? Could be a copywrite problem or something and the band actually had no opinion on it whatsoever. They probably don't even own the rights to their own logo.

I doubt that Diva's band would have been ejected from playing at the event if the other band was indifferent about it. Even if that were the case the band still didn't make any attempt to stop it from happening which would still make them douche bags. I'm sure it was unanimous.
