Friday Freak Out - Zen Guerilla



Once upon a time, in my LA days, I went to see these cats at Spaceland. The Soledad Brothers opened up for them(and killed it). Zen Guerilla came on and this kid(who I later found out had a beef with lead singer Marcus Durant)starts booing them. Durant hauls the kid on stage and puts him in a semi-friendly headlock and keeps singing. The kid's drunk friend, leapt onto the stage and attacked Durant. At this point, all the band members drop their instruments and pummel the dude. Durant, nonplussed, gets back on the mic and declares that they have to keep going and they then proceeded to blow the doors off the joint. Rock and by God Roll.

    Your opinion, jack. I was up front when it happened and spoke to the young guy who wound up in the friendly headlock after the show. He was apologizing to everyone. It was his friend that attacked Durant. And yes, the rest of the band handled the attacker before security got involved. You don't have to be violent to stick up for your lead man. Regardless, I was there and saw what I saw.
