Between The Buried And Me - Drummer Explains Salt Lake City Performance


During their performance in Salt Lake City, Utah, Between The Buried And Me drummer Blake Richardson left the stage due to technical difficulties and severe nerve issues in his left leg since the start of the Coma Ecliptic tour, also featuring Animals As Leaders and The Contortionist as support.

About what happened, Blake explains: "Hey everybody! First off I want to thank everyone for coming out to our show in Salt Lake City last night. It was, by far, one of the biggest gigs we have ever played there and we can't thank you enough for your support! With that, I would like to apologize to my band, crew, Animals As Leaders, The Contortionist, and especially to everyone who came out to watch us play. I've been battling with a nerve issue in my left leg this entire tour. The pain in my leg, coupled with a night full of technical difficulties caused me to lash out in frustration towards the end of the set. It was inappropriate, unprofessional, and extremely regrettable. In my eleven years of touring, up until last night, I have never acted in that manner... ever. I hope that those who were in attendance can forgive my actions. The support and kindness y'all showed when we came back on to finish our set is something I will never forget. I promise that we will come back and give you all a proper BTBAM experience!

As for the rest of the tour, we WILL be performing at all the remaining dates. My playing may not be 100%, but we figure that a BTBAM show is better than no BTBAM show! I sincerely appreciate the support from our fans, band mates, crew, and tour mates. You all have made this such an amazing tour for me!

I'd also like to send a big thank you to everyone who has come out to see this tour. We would not have means to support ourselves and our families without YOU. We are forever grateful for your support."

I wouldn't even care if he through his snare at my face, Everyone blows their top eventually... The fact that you took the time to explain yourself and apologize makes you an even bigger inspiration to me as a drummer. Keep rocking Blake, You RULE!!!
