It sounds like the chicks really have something to complain about.

CHICKS ON SPEED PHYSICALLY VIOLATED BY SECURITY PROMOTERS AND
SPONSORS AT A FESTIVAL IN SOUTHERN SPAIN

From: Chicks on Speed Records Newsletter

Dear Everyone,

We wanted to let you all know, we had one of the worst experiences of
our 10 year musical career on Saturday night, we were physically
violated and dragged off stage by security, Ortiz Padillo Promoters and
commercial sponsors at Oxigena Festival, near Cordova, in Southern
Spain. We were denied our right to perform at the festival as
contractedand our fees were not honoured. It was clear that the public attendance
of the festival was extremely low and the promoters wouldn´t allow us
toplay for this reason, so they could claim insurance on the premise, of
acancelled headlining act. The promoters and Sponsors falsely claimed
that ³the band is late” as we entered the stage at 1.25am, 5 minutes
prior to the planned stage time of 1.30am as contracted.

Photo documentation has been taken away from us, our camera was smashed
and memory card stolen.

We want to expose these criminal acts and the organisations responsible
for abusing and robing artists through their business practices and the
unethical networks of festivals and concert promoters. It´s clearly a
case of abuse against women, destruction of personal property, breach
of contract and assault.

We´re pretty freaked out & scared by what we experienced. It would be
really good to have your support in any way, the organizers were trying
to make quick cash from the festival. Look out for scammers that are
abusing musicians and swindling young people looking to have a fun
evening.

KEEP MUSIC ABOUT ART & CULTURE & A WILD FUN TIME TO BE TOGETHER & NOT A
MEANS FOR HORRIBLE MEN TO MAKE PILES MONEY.

    Adrian,
    Just because I heard your mate slagging of The Chicks sometime ago
    saying what annoying young women they were when you friend perchanced to
    be on the same aeroplane as them.
    It doesn’t mean you have to diss my contribution to the cube log.
    I help set this blog up and I think the subject has clearlyeverything t
    do with cube log. It is about how music promotors have miss treated The Chicks.
    Clearly the message to learn is :

    KEEP MUSIC ABOUT ART & CULTURE & A WILD FUN TIME TO BE TOGETHER & NOT A
    MEANS FOR HORRIBLE MEN TO MAKE PILES MONEY.

    Think out of the box Adrian !

    Lady

    I have never met you but this has nothing to do with the Cube in any direct way. Intresting as it is….. I am fully behind the Chicks and there quest to futher free speech but really…it is a tenious link to the cube and ….a bit like telling the logsters that BVI makes bombs as well as films. It should be published on some other forum/clog….otherwise this great log becomes constipated with rant bogs and idle chit chat….i know a thing or two about that.

    If this was a forum to leave tips i would be publishing my top 101 tips on making it on Brazilian Radio and gushing about Saxondale, he is an old mate.

    Just becuase u set it up does not mean i cant take it down.

    Lets meet for drinks….do u ever come to Paris?

    Have you actually ever visited The Cube ?
    I thought it was kind of greater general interest to
    people, as a kind of news item.
    I will agree to edit the post down a little if I have
    time.
    Yes, Lets meet in Paris.
    We could have

    Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain…

    Also I thougt it was iteresting as there was an incident with another Berlin associated band at a recent festival in Venn that Cubelog has been banging on about. ( It is an associate)
    I thougt it was a funy comparison to how bands should be not treated ( COS) to how Bands should
    not treat ( COBRA KILLER)
    Prehaps I should ve provided an exlanation for the cause…

    I notice there are some good deals on Eurostar at this time of year…
