While it wasn’t clear if they were entirely serious; KEN mode issued the following warning to those in the front row who spend more time on their phone than watching them perform:
“An open warning to people attending our shows: if you stand in front of us and text while we are performing expect to either be bathed in quite directed mucous or have your phone kicked from your hands by a man with a guitar or bass in his hands. Expect it. No more being polite. Ever. If you want your phone ruined, do it.”
The band posted the warning via their Facebook, where it has been met with a decidedly mixed reaction.
