Vocalist Joel Birch last evening at the Amity Affliction’s show in Las Vegas, took the mic to call out a fan who was wearing a Trump jersey.
Birch then tweeted about the incident, defending his words he used at the show.
“What I said tonight was much more balanced than I could have been, and wanted to be,” Birch says in a Twitter thread. “Just like I wouldn’t wear an atheist tee to church, I expect people to exercise a certain decorum when attending our shows. Music has forever been a safe haven for me, and I want our shows to be a safe haven for others.”
“You can believe whatever you want to believe while you are outside the venue, but don’t you DARE bring your negative energy inside to intimidate and cause discomfort to others,” Birch says. “I love Amity fans, they give us this unique and beautiful opportunity to play music, but I WILL NOT stand for people jeopardizing the happiness of others, and ruining their experience at one of our shows. To put it simply, you are not welcome.”
Here is a picture of the guy with a jersey.
