Clan of Xymox have released news that chaos, sabotage, and riotous behavior recently broke out at a concert in Mexico. Apparently, there were issues with the organizers, scheduling conflicts, and equipment sabotage. From what I read, several comments were posted in the CoX’s guestbook and the band was prompted to write out an explanation of the event.
Occurred at the Mandragora Fest in Mexico on March 1st. Initially, confusion began over scheduling conflicts which slated CoX to headline at 4am. Security and stage manager’s were lacking which caused a whole heap of mayhem throughout the night. During CoX’s set, the manager for a band called Atrocity allegedly “…displayed an atrocious ,despicable , unprofessional and self important behavior by pulling plugs and switching off the monitor system, causing Clan Of Xymox to have to leave the stage since there was no security on the side of the stage to keep these kind of people away.“. According to CoX, in support for this bad behavior, the audience began chanting “Clan of Xymox!!” and apparently, the audience unleashed their anger over missing CoX’s full set by throwing and yelling at the follow-up acts Atrocity and Leaves Eye.
The letter posted on CoX’s site is rather egotistical. I’m not exactly sure who wrote it, but it’s filled with a great deal of self love and claims that the audience in total was only there to see CoX and absolutely supported the band in the hours that followed the sabotage. I don’t know. I’ve been to a few large concerts in my day and when something goes wrong, you hardly ever know what’s really happening. At one point in the letter, it states “Ronny & Mojca displayed their dismay on stage about this sabotage and their fans picked up on it immediately by showing their support by shouting as loud as possible Xymox, Xymox, Xymox !!!”
CoX have apologized for the mishaps and have expressed gratitude to their fans for their support.
