During Spiritbox’s July 15 set at the Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre in Phoenix, AZ, frontwoman Courtney LaPlante had to kick out a fan prior to a performance of “Soft Spine.” The concertgoer was getting aggressive with other people in the crowd before being spotted by drummer Zev Rose.
LaPlante said the following:
“Zev is taller than us and he’s up on the kit, and he sees some fucker right now. We’re not gonna play another song and this show is not gonna continue until we make sure everybody out there is safe. So I need you guys to be tattletales, who’s the fucking freak that’s hurting everybody? Point him out… Point him out. He went that way? Well guess what fucker, we all saw you, and we know where you are. Your ass is gonna get kicked the fuck out.”
She also checked on a fan:
“Hey are you okay bud?.. I know that you didn’t mean to draw attention, I’m sorry to draw attention to you, but that’s fucked up, ok? This isn’t the damn gold medal karate match, ok? This is a rock n’ roll show. Alright, it looks like security’s got him. Let that be a lesson to anybody out there who fucks around tonight.
Because our security, they’re very nice and they love you guys. But they have let me know that if they have to, they will baptize a motherfucker and they will tune you up. Because what’s most important, safety, right? So if anybody falls down, what are you going to do? You’re going to pick them up, k?”
