The Chariot’s Lancaster, PA Set Cut Short After Altercation With Security
The Chariot‘s set at the Chameleon Club in Lancaster, PA last night (October 13th) took a turn for the worse. Apparently band guitarist Stephen Harrison got into an altercation with venue security which initially saw them ejected from the club and barred from entering again. Harrison recounted the experience via his Twitter last night:
“Kicked out of the venue. Sitting in the rain. Excellent. So I was climbing this thing, 2 security guards grabbed me and were pulling me off, and a third grabbed my hair and threw me on the ground. I was on the ground, There was alot of yelling, then they decided to stop our set even though I was the one that got slammed. Weird.
Then they were afraid of a riot because there were alot of angry people, so they said we had to leave the venue before the show can continue. We got to go back in at the end But the owner didn’t want me talking about what happened. I think because he’s the one who slammed me. But it’s all good. Got to talk to some cool people at the end of the show, I forgave security, and the rest of the show was rad. Good night.”
Footage of the incident has yet to surface, but I’ll keep an eye out for it because I’m so good to you.

The security guard is definitely going to hell…
I have seen countless shows at Chameleon Club and various times I have seen the security guards act like dicks to the bands. Not saying that they weren’t concerned for his safety, but seriously, did you have to slam him on the fucking ground? Then those dipshits wonder why the people attending the concert get pissed at them and then they go into full retard mode and think a riot is going to start. If you stop doing this stupid shit, then you won’t have to worry about it. They could’ve done this in a more peaceful manner. Fuck this place. Glad I have other venues to go to in Baltimore and Reading.
I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more often. Such a liability to the venues. I wonder if they make bands sign waivers… Well, I guess there might be some implied consent theory going on. But you’d think they’d want to be extra cautious.
I know a lot of people that work at the club. They ran into this problem with the chariot before, and told them not to climb anything due to safety reasons this time. So what do they do? start climbing shit. I didnt think it was hard to listen to the people that are paying you, but i guess it is.
those fuckers do go ape shit @ a show. haha
The Chariot is king
