Trapt and Florida Openers Dispute What Happened at Fort Pierce Show
Trapt and local bands clashed after a Florida show at Guadalajara Mexico in Fort Pierce on Friday.
Dirty Crumbums said their set was cut to 17 minutes and they were removed after chanting the band’s initials during Trapt’s performance.
The group also alleged that an amp belonging to Fear Of Infirmity guitarist Tai Vitolo was broken, but Trapt did not address that claim in its response.

What people are saying
They lost half the crowd!... "We didn't see 'Headstrong'!
PA issues pushed back the start an hour, so openers had 10 mins cut from their sets and Trapt played at 10 as was scheduled.
Never seen such crybabies in my life.
That’s pretty fucking embarrassing, that you paid to be on a fucking bill with a dead band.
