We’ve covered inappropriate gig behaviour at length here at Tone Deaf. We even came up with a list of the behaviours and activities that we think are completely unacceptable at live music performances, which we suggest anybody familiarise themselves with.
One of these would definitely include stealing the band’s property, even if it’s just a hat. Don’t take any item of clothing belonging to a musician on stage or for that matter, anybody standing in the crowd or working the door or anybody at all.
Just keep your hands to yourselves, alright?
Now that that’s settled, we’ve gotta say The Delta Riggs frontman Elliott Hammond used some rather questionable language during a recent performance at Adelaie’s Fat Controller after an audience member allegedly swiped his hat towards the end of the band’s set.
According to a reviewer from The Music, after a blazing set, the evening took a turn for the worse when Hammond claimed someone had stolen his hat and threw a “temper tantrum” on stage, telling the crowd, “You c***s have lost yourself an encore because of that.”
According to The Music, Hammond also addressed the crowd as “f****ts” and did not in fact perform an encore after reportedly “fudge[ing]” the opening to their final song, the single ‘Supersonic Casulaties’ off 2014’s Dipz Zebazios.
