Back when I was in commie art school one of our collaborative semester projects was producing a concert and we booked Deerhunter to open for Crystal Castles. This was back in like 2009/10ish.
I’d seen Crystal Castles perform a few times before this. Once at a house show in Detroit where the house caught fire due to ancient wiring and the entire interior being wrapped in aluminum foil, and another when they opened for another band at Metro where Alice spent the entire show on the floor in front of the stage drunkenly rubbing a strobe light on her vag.
But by now they’d “made it” and it was guaranteed to be a very professional show (our grades depended on it).
It wasn’t.
Deerhunter went on, on time, and did an amazing, extended set - aside from being interrupted multiple times by some blue hair student trying to prevent the student crowd outside (only about a third of those who wanted to attend got in) from banging on the historic plate glass windows - all while Deerhunter’s leader, Bradford Cox encouraged the destruction.
Crystal Castles showed up hours late, wasted, and played an awful truncated set due to time constraints.

At this point, you simply have to have a mental deficiency. I don't have time for someone like you. Immature.
