Tour: Day One Addendum: SUPPORT PLACEBO!
We weren't joking about the cops coming and trying to shut the show down at Placebo. Thank you for having us Placebo. Jasmine, Julie, Brandon, everyone!
Taken from the December 14th edition of the North Coast Journal:
A rather disconcerting e-mail showed up in my mailbox last week with the subject line: "Fathom Canceled Tonight."
The note from long-time Placebo volunteer Julie Ryan explained the cancellation: "Here is the deal: Last night while [the Bay Area punk band] And a Few to Break was playing their excellent set, the neighbors who live in the tow yard complained about noise at the Placebo and then proceeded to call the cops. The cops issued the Placebo a written warning and said if they get [another] complaint within the next 24 hours, they will fine the Placebo $500. The Placebo cannot afford this, so no Fathom, sorry!
"I explained to the cops what the Placebo is about and that we moved to this area because it is NOT a residential area, it is a business/industrial area. (Hmmm ... Why are there people living in the tow yard?) The cops took my name (yep, it's Julie) and also took Leslie from Synapsis' name."
Julie went on to plead, "If you like the fact that Placebo, Synapsis and Empire Squared put on cool all-ages events, you need to help," suggesting letters to the city council and supplying a link to the city of Eureka website (www.ci.eureka.ca.gov).
