In Michigan, the band Treephort was
kicked off the stage. Their offense: one band member stripped down to his thong, lit it on fire, removed it (duh!) and then continued the performance in the natural state.
The antics violated the club policies (fire codes and such) but the funniest part of this story is this quote from a singer in the band:
Treephort concerts routinely feature members dousing a thong with hairspray before igniting it with a lighter, singer Lee Satterfield said. "We've all done it from time to time," he said. "We're professionals; we know what we're doing."Yes. I cannot see how anyone would consider someone who routinely douses their underwear with fuel and lights it on fire as not knowing what they were doing.
