Evergreen Terrace and others have dropped off the Kentucky Irate Festival (UPDATED)
....we can't see this festival playing out anymore
Lambgoat has been notified that Evergreen Terrace has indeed pulled out of the drama-filled Kentucky Irate Festival. While the latest post from the festival (as seen below) states the updated line still includes the band, we have reached out to 100% confirm with the band's management, booking team, as well as with the band itself, that they are no longer tied to the festival. The band does not have a statement as of yet.

It would seem other Florida bands are also dropping from the event. Bodybox posted a tweet last night telling fans they will plan a make-up date for the missed festival appearance.
Lambgoat has also learned that Traitors plan to cut ties with the festival. However, the band has not yet made a public statement. They are also NOT listed in the post by the festival.
We will, unfortunately, continue to cover this metalcore soap opera once more information comes available.
*It should be noted we reached out to the festival promoters for a statement after hearing yesterday's news, we have not heard back as of posting this.*
UPDATE: The Festival has responded via their Facebook page:
The statement reads:
"So, here I go…
There are a lot of things being said on the internet right now. It seems like everyone has something to say, and I don't blame you. Everyone loves a good show.
The problem is, when people start digging up dirt just to hurt people, it really ruins a good thing. Irate Fest was supposed to be a good thing, and now it's turned into a battle of who can hit the hardest. Something we could have saved for the pit, but decided to bring to social media instead.
The most important thing we are dealing with right now is the allegations against one of the band members who was set to play at irate fest, and who also happened to invest in our festival. He has immediately been removed from our tours and Fest and we no longer have business ties with him.
The only people who were aware of these awful events before this festival was created are those who have been living with these horrible secrets, and we thank you for coming forward and speaking out. I have been made aware that the words I've said in response to a message that was sent to me are being shared across these platforms. I am genuinely sorry if my feelings came across as anything but sympathetic and heartfelt. My point was to say that I don't want the attention you deserve for being brave and speaking out to be watered down by the events of irate fest. My intention was to apologize for your experience and to say that I side with you and you deserve better than this drama being attached to a situation so awful and violating. I would have never done business with him if I had known.
In regards to the locals issue, I am heartbroken by the response of the local community. My former partner, who is apart of the local Louisville scene, was given the task of getting the locals for this event. He told me on May 9, 2022 that all local bands performing on the bill would be required to sell tickets and that they were notified. When I sent the message to the bands about the selling of tickets, I was rude and wrong for my approach. I do understand the importance of local bands in every community, and I regret the way I went about the messaging. I know it is likely too late for sorry but I am, truthfully.
This festival is so important to me. I am a first time creator in the scene and am learning along the way, with my incredible team, how this business works and how to go about different situations with all the people involved. I have amazing people in my corner who are feeling the effects of this backlash from my words, and I regret that they are dealing with this just as much as I am.
Again, I am so sorry for the confusion, the drama, the strained relationships, and the stress this has caused. Please take this as my heart felt apology. Comments have been turned off because it has become an unsafe situation for my children and my family. Thank you for reading and for understanding."
Additionally, the venue, MG's Prime Time Cafe, has announced that the festival is canceled:

Post CommentThere are no democrats anymore. It's now the communist party.
Chaney can quite riff like Helmet's Page Hamilton
Situation is funny but lambgoat tabloid writing since the OG guy handed it off is very goofy and TMZ. We HAVE reacHed Out TO ConFiRm wIth BAND ManaGement
Raylan Givens is from Kentucky. That motherf*cker is a badass.
Why's there always some knucklehead bringing politics into these comments? Bunch of morons acting like an echo chamber too. Most used words from you unoriginal nitwits: groomer, democrat, Terror, triggered, low ticket sales
"Love y'all, smoke weed!" is the best way to close a statement.
Why's there always some knucklehead bringing politics into these comments? Bunch of morons acting like an echo chamber too. Most used words from you unoriginal nitwits: groomer, democrat, Terror, triggered, low ticket sales cmere fat boy gonna give you a swirlie
Shit fest, with shit bands, created by shit promoters, for shit locals, in shit city, in shit state… Carry on.
There are no democrats anymore. It's now the communist party. Call Democrats communists; supports party whose last president licked Putin's boots. Yeah, no one ever accused you right wingers of being smart. It's why your education levels are so low.
Now who is going to play a whole set of someone else' songs?
How about you just start reporting when bands DO decide to stay on the bill, Lambgoat? I promise nobody cares about this fest this much.
"There are no democrats anymore. It's now the communist party. Call Democrats communists; supports party whose last president licked Putin's boots. Yeah, no one ever accused you right wingers of being smart. It's why your education levels are so low." Vast majority of the least educated states when adjusted for scale of population: Red states. Worst hit by COVID due to lack of social distancing/masking/vaccinating? Red states. Just let them be stupid and kill themselves off, AFAIC. Start treating Republicans with the same caliber of disdain that Republicans devote toward literally everybody other than themselves.
A mass republican die off is expected soon due to poor heart health. No joke.
More like Kentucky Masturbate Fest because none of these people are getting laid anytime soon
Why are americans okay with their president sniffing little kids? What's up with that?
Kentucky can't do shit right. Vote for republicans and this what happens. 45th in education 10th poorest #41 for health care #40 in economy Rand paul is a Russian asset. Mitch McConnell hates democracy. Culture consists of animal abuse, alcohol abuse, coal and tobacco production. What a hell hole. Keep voting gop, they love the poorly educated.
So a bunch of bands that sucked and nobody heard of have been dropped from a festival where they couldn't sell 5 tickets a piece? How is this news? If they posted the new lineup without all of the other information, nobody would have noticed. The Simpsons are not stoked
The ten people who still care about Evergreen Terrace are not stoked
venue facebook page announced it was cancelled an hour ago
Hal Rogers is responsible for this calamity
"Mitch McConnell hates democracy" then he's in the right country! impossible to have democracy in a class society. not up for debate.
Why are americans okay with their president sniffing little kids? What's up with that? ^^^ This. Trump truly was a terrible president.
Evergreen Terrace couldn't sell 25 tickets either? Did they get "threatening" messages telling them if the agreement they had isn't met by them they won't play the fest just like these other bitch ass bands? ok
"UPDATE: The Facebook page for the event has been taken down, however, the Page is still currently up with no other updates than the one we've posted above" Wow, looks like nu LG needs a GED
Woman goes on rant accusing man of serious crime that's going to ruin his life but refuses to actually say it to the authorities who could actually investigate it and determine if it's true, ensuring there's 0 possibility anyone can determine if she's lying or that she'll be punished if she's doing so. Stunning and brave.
Yeah what was all that stuff about a rapist? Which Chad from which band was that again?
"Call Democrats communists; supports party whose last president licked Putin's boots. Yeah, no one ever accused you right wingers of being smart. It's why your education levels are so low" So are we fascists or communists retard? Make up your minds already lol. Leftists are too worried about thier pronouns and their narcissistic self importance that they've lost all sense of reality. Worthless un-American scumbags.
"Vast majority of the least educated states when adjusted for scale of population: Red states. Worst hit by COVID due to lack of social distancing/masking/vaccinating? Red states. Just let them be stupid and kill themselves off, AFAIC. Start treating Republicans with the same caliber of disdain that Republicans devote toward literally everybody other than themselves." Over a 99% survival rate even without the vaccine lol. Facts matter little fella. Keep beating that dead horse though. And please keep wearing your muzzle, it shows me who to avoid at all costs. Additionally where do you think the left gets their votes from? Democrats get the majority of their votes from low income, lowly educated Americans lol. Obviously.
Top 10 American cities with the highest crime rates? Blue cities run by leftists. Let them kill each other off. I'll grab my popcorn and have a few laughs.
Conservatives are the retards to think that actual voters give a f*ck about their pronouns. Grade A suckers that swallow anything the media throws their way. And you're insecure, poorly educated, FASCISTS that need to dictate how the rest of the world lives because the rest of us aren't willing to slow down for your goofy asses to catch up. So you bitch and moan and pimp god and the constitution as reasons why no one likes you and you're an ignorant c*nt.
What are those middle aged posers in the picture smiling about? Wipe the shit eating grin off your faces, your shifts at Best Buy start soon.
" I am a first time creator in the scene and am learning along the way, " Well there it is. Starting to make a lot more sense now. Some whistledick scene carpetbagger came in tried flopping his unit on the table and the locals let him know how they felt about it
Soooo, dude doesn't realize a bunch of salty people made shit up to ruin the fest.
Impending Doom and all republicans are stoked
Scott Vogel here. I've been putting on packed shows at the Cheektowaga Chuck E Cheese and the old Rite Aide that will be a spirit of Halloween in a month. I'd be willing to make this fest happen, for a nominal fee of course
Wait, this festival was supposed to happen at a cafe?!
queue damage control, it's already working on some lambgroids believing it was about rape and no namers selling tickets. Not the screenshots of the promoter threatening day jobs that haven't been denied, not the zero communication until the last minute that actually allowed this shit to run more than a week without getting cancelled three months ago, not the sudden sign in changes last minute that demanded the likely kfc employees cough up 1.5k on the spot.
yeah exactly. this loser no name in the scene/no clue how to promote finally realized he was in over his head and tried to make it back threatening the local bands to cough up pay to play. no one cares what lies do no nothing scene chicks spread for attention
So are we fascists or communists retard? Make up your minds already lol. Neither. Right wingers are far, far too dumb these days to have any sort of real political platform. What do Republicans currently stand for? Smaller government? Nope. You want to tell women what they can do with their bodies and consenting adults who they can or can't marry. Deficit reduction and a balanced budget? Nope. Trump blew up the deficient with a corporate tax cut that was yet another Republican hand out to the wealthy. An originalist reading of the Constitution? Nope. The right wingers on the Supreme Court are steadily erasing the separation between church and state and you have Boebert outright stating that not only should there be no such separation, but that the church lead the state. So what is it exactly that you stand for? Guns, and... that's pretty much it. Perhaps if you'd made it past the 12th grade you'd have a more informed political take
^^^^ A bunch of fascist trolls have been flooding the comments section for a few months and people have started to pushback. Nazi Punks f*ck Off.
this website has went to shit so quickly. again, you're all losers and lurk sucks.
Trumpers are less anoying than modern liberals.
Republicans are sooooo jealous of liberals. that's what all of this is about. right-wingers just can't fit in. they're poorly educated try-hards that use and abuse jesus and the constitution to push their fascist, bigoted ideas on the rest of us. instead of looking themselves in the mirror and saying "why do i even give a f*ck what some twink in brooklyn wants to be called?" or "I doubt poor samantha in Kentucky NEEDS me to tell her what to do with her body" they double-down on their pseudo-authoritarian bullshit as a means to give their lives some sort of meaning. republicans and conservatives now solely exist to troll. to ruin it for the rest of us. to not bring forth any quality legislation or pragmatic solutions for pressing human issues. The conservative exists to be an asshole.
Evergreen MySpace ? Is non of these bands as good as knocked loose ? Might as loose of the festival.
Hi, Joey. 🥰🥰 I cant believe a hater would say ITS OVER when clearly you added 4 new locals. People are so jealous of you little jojo. 🤬
i'll take an order of two dozen hot wings. -with celery and blue cheese on the side.
They just posted that they canceled the fest lol.
I live in Pennsylvania and could not care, what these hillbilly,backwoods Kentucky cousin-humpers do. Maybelle, fetch me my spittoon.-got me a mouthfull of chaw juice that needs some releasing.-Kodiak packed lip.
