In preparation of their forthcoming document’s launch on the tenth of October, Sanguisugabogg launched into a North American tour that seems like it went properly till the second to final tour date.

There, Sanguisugabogg claims they have been threatened with a firearm after their present in Memphis, Tennessee on the twenty ninth of July, when the band went to gather their pay for his or her present.

In a prolonged assertion posted to Instagram, alongside photographs of the accused, Sanguisugabogg particulars an alleged incident through which the venue’s normal supervisor informed the band he would shoot them in the event that they did not go away the venue after their set – with out their fee.

**WARNING**
BANDS, BOOKING AGENTS, MANAGERS DO NOT WORK FOR THIS CLOWN ????

That is Cory Likens and hopefully by tomorrow morning he doesn’t have a job!
At our present in Memphis, TN tonight, proper after we obtained carried out taking part in, we have been informed to come back to his workplace to settle. So, our [tour manager went] up and was informed that we breached our contract as a result of our set ended sooner than what we have been slotted (not a factor), and [Likens] shoved [the tour manager] out of his workplace.

[Then,] all of the bands returned to [the office] simply settle out and one in every of us simply needed to have a dialog as to what was occurring [. As one of them does so, Likens] popped his head out of the workplace to inform us to go away or he was going to SHOOT us.
[Likens] ended up leaving… and fortuitously after a number of hours somebody far more skilled and calmly mannered wrote a examine. We’ve heard from those who he’s unwell and stuff to not this excessive however bands not getting paid has occurred earlier than.

Glad you made positive to go away with out giving us your title I wager you felt actually proud and secure however fast detective work like discovering your f*ckboy haircut on google did the trick.

We additionally made positive to incorporate pics of the inexperienced room cuz we noticed the workers take an image of the room when the desk obtained knocked over… clearly it’s not damaged[.]

Superior venue, superior present, screw this dude!

Then, Sanguisugabogg included an replace alleging that after the band had posted their unique assertion detailing their encounter with Likens, the venue themselves had reached out to the band to ‘make clear’ what occurred:

UPDATE

[The venue is] telling us to take the put up down and saying [that Likens] didn’t say he was gonna shoot us[,] that he informed us “I’ve a gun…”[.]

That’s not true. He informed 5 of us he was going to shoot us they usually’re saying we breached contract which is completely made up factor.

Folks don’t assist Minglewood Corridor / 1884 Lounge don’t purchase tickets to their exhibits and make everybody conscious of this! Straight up f**ok this place!

So, no matter which model of occasions you go along with, in the event you have been to go along with the lesser of the 2 evil choices that Sanguisugabogg declare, Likens informed a number of band members with a weapon, saying ‘I’ve a gun’ – for no matter motive, except, you already know… he was threatening them. If he simply straight up threatened them, he straight up threatened them.

And certainly, whereas they obtained paid, no band needs to be informed that the venue supervisor has a weapon, simply ‘casually’ or in any other case. Sanguisugabogg initially mentioned that it was an “superior venue,” till their replace the place they element what the venue was reportedly telling the band behind the scenes. Now, the band is saying to not assist the venue in any capability. It isn’t totally flawed logic.

There isn’t any phrase as as to whether or not there can be an investigation into Likens‘ conduct with a weapon, or as as to whether or not he nonetheless works at Minglewood Corridor and 1884 Lounge.

Sanguisugabogg are a reasonably enjoyable band with some nasty tunes, they usually have simply wrapped up their most up-to-date tour in anticipation of their upcoming document, Hideous Aftermath, as beforehand said.
