NON PHIXION IN MUNICH - THE REAL STORY
First off, we would like to apologize to all of our fans who paid money to see us in Munich at the Backstage. Never in our professional careers as Non Phixion have we ever dealt with a promoter and club as unprofessional as Andreas Kalhofer/Streetbeatz Entertainment and Backstage.
On this particular night the promoter, Andreas, left the club with our money and didn't pay us. We had just flown 14 hours from Los Angeles and were excited about performing in Munich since it has been a few years since we were here last. We waited in the dressing room for hours for payment as we always get paid just before we take the stage, as stated in our contract. But there was no payment. Andreas had left the club with the money leaving both the club and us wondering what was going on.
After awhile the crowd started getting restless and the club asked us what they could do to get us on stage. We explained to them that we have a contract with Andreas in which he owes us our performance fee before we go on stage. The club said they did not have the money and we told them we could not perform until we got our money. Soon the crowd started rioting and causing damage to the club. At this point, Sabac went out on stage and told the crowd that we were there and ready to perform, however Andreas had to handle his business first and pay us. Of course this never happened so we waited in the dressing room for even longer hoping for a resolution. The club stepped to us numerous times about performing, however no one was prepared to pay us. Also, there was no security to be found anywhere in the dressing room area of this club and random people kept coming in the dressing room taking food and drinks that were supposed to be for the artists. As the crowd grew more violent, more people started coming into the dressing room and began causing damage to the club. The club called the police and after they finally cleared everybody out, the police then proceeded to arrest Goretex and DJ Eclipse, charging them with inciting a riot and causing damage to the club, as Ill Bill and Sabac had just left the club. This is the furthest thing from the truth as Sabac had already took the stage once and tried to calm the crowd down by explaining to them what had happened. You can ask anybody that was in that crowd and they will tell you that we never got up on stage and told them to destroy the place. However, the club is saying we did. Goretex and Eclipse had to spend 24 hours in a German prison and were released on $4000 bond. Not only did we lose our show money, but we had to come out of pocket for the bond which nobody is willing to take responsibility for. At this time no one has seen or heard from Andreas Kalhofer.
So again, we feel really bad for the fans of Munich, and Berlin as we had to miss that show because of all this as well, as we were looking forward to a good show with Jedi Mind Tricks.
