MUTINY WITHIN – Update From The Road

New Jersey (USA) progressive metallers MUTINY WITHIN have checked in with their latest tour blog.
This statement comes from the band’s tour manager Tommy Jones:

“10/02/09 – Cane’s Bar & Grill – San Diego, California. Third show of the Soulfly run. Let me first start out by saying the venue was sweet, right on the boardwalk, beach front. The sound was great. Mutiny Within’s performance was flawless and the food was straight. Now onto the security…not so cool. We got a couple youngins in the band, Drew and Brandon. This place treated them like crap. They lied to me initially about my guys being able to be in the venue or not. They really talked down to these guys. Once I talked to them, it was a different tone, but it’s really not cool to muscle people around because your a big dude…kinda the $5 an hour and a sense of power mentality. There was no budging on this with them and regardless what I said, Drew and Brandon had to stay outside up until show time, and then they were escorted off the stage directly after the last note. Honestly why not support the fact that these guys are “facemelters” at such a young age. For all I care they could have made these two wear orange sweaters to be flagged as under age, or stay back stage all night….they weren’t trying to drink, they were trying to rock. Either way this joint is closing down in a month, so be it.

Drew, AJ, and Raa of Cattle Decapitation took a dip before the show in the ocean. Raa was from that area, but this was definitely Drew and Aj’s first dip in the Pacific. The guys made a lot of new fans in San Diego, and we will be back, thankfully at another venue.

On top of Tour Managing, I am also filming the guys every night in full HD. The footage is looking amazing, and you will all get to see it in the coming months before the record drops.

-Tommy”
