4:21p - Local band breaks up, film at 11.
Redline Defiance is an alternative rock band local to Denver. They've been playing around the area for several years with varying degrees of success. As some of the members are also survivors of Columbine, they've got an interesting backstory and hook; and their music doesn't suck.
Emerson, the guitarist, is kind of a dick. (I hear his former girlfriend, a big supporter of the band, broke up with him because he cheated on her with a fan at a show while said girlfriend was helping to set up. While I would dismiss this as jealous rumors, I also kinda partially saw it go down, so there you go. Special.) But he's a talented dick. They've had a few cast changes here and there, and a few power struggles, but as recently as two weeks ago they seemed to get along okay and had a great deal of optimism about the future. Then a few days ago, Emerson used the mailing list to send an anti-everyone else screed to all fans, followers, and professional associates.
( IM IN UR LIST DISSING UR BANDZ )
Then he blanked the website. Comments on the myspace and other related communities quickly blamed the other members.
Oh, I said, this is gonna be good. Emo-tendency band + guy who's a bit of a dick + trademark/copyright issues + financial butthurt? Get my popcorn!
True enough, the other band members somehow get the mailing list and send out their own anti-Emerson lobby.
( The response. )
I'm sure that this isn't over; as is, at least it's an amusing diversion from the utterly fabulous RDR wank, a palate-cleanser if you will.
