Escuela Grind vocalist Katerina Economou suffered an injury in the pit after a crowd surfing attempt went wrong during the band’s set at Cheapsteaks in Dallas, TX last night, January 18th. The injury forced the band to cut their set short, with Economou requiring medical attention.
A statement from the band outlined the situation as follows:
“Dallas was so insane that @xsatanx was launched over a crowd, onto the floor in the middle of the pit.. (see slide 2) we didn’t get to finish our set.
Katerina has a small hairline fracture, and a bruised shoulder. They’re very lucky the doctor cleared them for the rest of these shows. we all know how bad this could’ve turned out, so everyone is grateful that it’s just gnarly bump
On another note, fuck the security guards who did no homework before working a hardcore show and disrespected every artist that walked into Cheapstakes. They treated every one of us like an enemy, and that’s not fucking cool. Venues and promoters, take note and make sure to educate your staff.
Also, plz teach them about pro-nouns
Atx tonight @mohawkaustin
SANA SANA COLITA DE RANA”
