Street Fight Melee at Concert Debut
Downtown Faremount. The local rock band, Down Tyme, played their first professional gig in downtown Faremount during the city's "Friday's in the Park" celebration. The band played "House of the Risin' Sun" by the Animals when they were joined by Ima Townbyke, local lover and punching bag of several men in the area.
"We were just starting out our song," the lead singer states. "when I hear this sound like a live cat being skinned by 12 grit sandpaper. I turned and our bass player had the mic taken from him while Ima bellowed out the chorus."
The song was cut short and Ima was asked to start her solo career without Down Tyme. Then as the band started again, some of the locals that were in the park enjoying their pork patty sandwiches and lemonade began to get angry.
"Turn that damn noise down!" the seniors of Citizen Park yelled.
Then, when the lead singer told them, "Shut up or I'll knock the dentures out of your freakin' head you deaf old bastard!" it looked like the riot reminescent of the Rolling Stones concert when the Hell's Angels ended up killing several people in San Francisco.
"There were walkers and canes flying all over the place!" one spectator reported, "The band didn't have a chance when the scooters and electric wheelchair brigade moved in!"
The lead singer was hospitalized with minor injuries to his skull, the bass player suffered injuries to his newly implanted liver and the drummer quit stating that he couldn't take another episode like that emotionally again.
