Loads of Device followers felt cheated over Device‘s latest Stay In The Sand competition performances. Device promised followers “two distinctive units,” however solely delivered one distinctive set after which a second set half stuffed with repeats – therefore the booing and that one man giving them the finger.
Now it appears issues are being taken one step additional, as lawyer and Stay In The Sand attendee Stasio French Rusek is contemplating submitting a category motion lawsuit towards the band. Personally, I had seen some screenshots of a submit a couple of lawsuit floating round, so I made a decision to name Rusek‘s agency and make sure – yeah, it is actual.
Rusek has since spoken to Steel Hammer, saying the lawsuit can be towards the promoters of Stay In The Sand over the phrasing of the promoting: “These had been my 27th and 28th Device exhibits. There was a palpable sense of betrayal within the air because the present started the second evening, and it lingered all through the rest of the weekend.
“What it boils all the way down to is that purchasers of the competition bundle had been promised ‘two distinctive units’ by Device. Whereas the feedback on these posts argue about what ‘distinctive’ means, the fact is that the chance to see Device play two distinctive units, ie no repeats, was the figuring out issue for many attendees to drag the set off on spending 1000’s of {dollars} to attend.”
