In preparation of their forthcoming file’s launch on the tenth of October, Sanguisugabogg launched into a North American tour that feels like it went nicely 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 images of the accused, Sanguisugabogg particulars an alleged incident wherein the venue’s common supervisor instructed the band he would shoot them in the event that they did not go away the venue after their set – with out their cost.

**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 acquired achieved taking part in, we have been instructed to come back to his workplace to settle. So, our [tour manager went] up and was instructed 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 wished to have a dialog as to what was happening [. As one of them does so, Likens] popped his head out of the workplace to inform us to depart or he was going to SHOOT us.
[Likens] ended up leaving… and fortunately after just a few hours somebody far more skilled and calmly mannered wrote a verify. We’ve heard from folks that he’s unwell and stuff to not this excessive however bands not getting paid has occurred earlier than.

Glad you made certain to depart with out giving us your identify I guess you felt actually proud and protected however fast detective work like discovering your f*ckboy haircut on google did the trick.

We additionally made certain to incorporate pics of the inexperienced room cuz we noticed the employees take an image of the room when the desk acquired 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 publish down and saying [that Likens] didn’t say he was gonna shoot us[,] that he instructed us “I’ve a gun…”[.]

That’s not true. He instructed 5 of us he was going to shoot us and so they’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 reveals and make everybody conscious of this! Straight up f**okay this place!

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

And certainly, whereas they acquired paid, no band must be instructed 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 a phrase as as to whether or not there will likely 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 fairly enjoyable band with some nasty tunes, and so they have simply wrapped up their most up-to-date tour in anticipation of their upcoming file, Hideous Aftermath, as beforehand acknowledged.
