dredg frontman Gavin Hayes and drummer Dino Campanella were recently ‘arrested’ on stage in Berlin, Germany as part of an elaborate prank perpetrated by band bassist Drew Roulette. Video footage of the incident has been made available online below. According to the bands publicist, the prank played out as follows:
“Two “police officers” interrupted the band’s set to escort Hayes and Campanella offstage and issue arrest warrants for a vandalizing incident that happened the last time the band performed at the venue.
Back then, bottles were broken outside the venue and, while the owner was mad and had police contact the band, they had no proof so charges were never officially pressed.
Flash forward to last week when the band returned to the scene of the crime as part of their month-long overseas tour in support of “The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion,” bassist Drew Roulette decided to play a practical joke on Hayes and Campanella and hired actors in police outfits waiting to arrest them.”
