Design The Skyline have apparently kicked out their 16 year old bassist Ethan White in a feud that subsequently spilled over to Twitter and Tumblr. White thas since taken to his Twitter and his Tumblr, posting the following on the latter this past Monday, August 15th:
“So my asshole band members just kicked me out because im 16. Ive worked so hard in this band ive done alot i drove all the way to chicago with them to get signed i made 2 music videos with them i do nothing wrong. And were going on our first tour in about 2 weeks. And there just dropping me like that.
Nothing ever goes well for me in my life not school not relationships and finially i get in a band ive loved music my whole life and we finially get signed a dream come true and now ive lost that. I feel like that once in a life time chance had finally come and now its just gone like that cause my band members are fucking heartless. They know what shit ive been through but there just selfish.
Now i feel like my life isnt worth living im just a normal ass person like ive always been and that sucks, i was so excited to see what tour is like and get to go to europe and see beautiful places on this earth. I cant even type right right now im shaking im so scared and mad and idk its an intense feeling i just broke a mirror with my hand and im bleeding i feel stupid. wtf is wrong with me.
nothing goes well for me and this is just like assuring me nothing else ever will.. omg im freaking out. a;sdkjf;f FUCK man. i hope NONE of you guys have problems like this in yalls lives i hope you all live amazing wonderful happy lives no one deserves this but apparently i do for some fucked up reason..”
Meanwhile, band drummer John Martian posted the following on his Twitter:
“for those who think im an ass for kicking out ethan! you try playing in a band with someone so unproductive #realtalk”
He later added:
“How can i feel sorry for someone that only cares for fame and hoes. #realtalk”
Of course my initial reaction would be suspicion given Victory‘s penchant for questionable marketing techniques (wasn’t there a fake blogger getting sued for leaking records and such?) Hell I don’t even want to believe Design The Skyline are a real band, but fuck, just read that. Even if I just got trolled in some clever marketing ploy, I’m still amused.
Considering I’ve already met my quota this month for Twitter feuds, you can find some more details on this situation over at Kikaxemusic.com.
