Last night in Dallas, CC kicked VEGA from the ticket and eventually canceled their show at the Granada Theater due to an "ill equipped venue." Mind you, the spot has hosted Animal Collective, Ratatat as well as won awards for being the Best Live Music Venue two years in a row.
There's conflicting stories of exactly what happened, but gorillavsbear has nicely packaged all the statements from the involved parties on their blog.
Looks like CC were just being dicks.
Canadians Ethan Kath and Alice Glass have been making (crime)waves through out the indie scene since last year, but their rise has been anything but smooth. Copyright issues surfaced in 2008, attacking the legitimacy of the duo's sample and artwork usage.
CC printed Trevor Brown's black-eyed Madonna image on merchandise without permission, erupting into copyright chaos and the eventual relinquishment of the image's rights to the band.
CC also had a copyright dispute over the use of a entire song--"My Little Droid Needs a Hand" by Lo-bat--in "Insectica," without permission.
Re-visit the whole drama via the "crystal castle fiasco" option (at the bottom) here.
I really dig CC but this makes it hard for me to hype them.
Who do you think was to blame for last night's canceled show?
