Got banned from Hot Topic...

Song goes,
"Fucking your way to the top with a plastic CUNT everyone lines up"

That one word got us the boot (even though it wasn't said into the mic) management still heard it, yet they allowed us to say every other "bad" word....

We had 2 more songs, but management (off camera) signaled "1 more"




Still, another one on our banned list

I think we just did not fit that "hardcore emo college alternative acoustic" recycled garbage style they carry.

Yeah. I think the dildo sticking out of the gas mask should have tipped them off that a couple of F and C bombs were gonna make an appearance.

I always laugh when I see bands playing at Hot Topic, but I'm curious... How do they set up these "concerts"? Did you talk to the manager, or did they contact you?

That sucks that they would ban you. What losers. What can you expect from a store that is owned by the gap, and decks out half of their store in twilight new moon garbage.

Dude, that sucks that you guys got banned. But fear not, because they're just too pussy to handle your music.

Hot Topics, at least in our area, are always looking for bands to either perform or do a meet and greet. We did the latter several months ago, and it was way cooler than I expected. Essentially, we got to sell a whole bunch of merch while I hit on girls who were just old enough, and they came out to some of our shows too

Didn't even realize hot topics did that... theres like 0 room to move in the hot topic in the mall near me yet alone set up to play a show

That would be pretty bad ass to metal up the mall though

I'm just trying to imagine under what incentives anyone could possibly convince me to even attempt playing a live set of anything in a Hot Topic...

I didn't realize the place was good for anything at all besides being one of the only physical stores (as in, not just internet based) on the planet where I can buy new vinyl records by artists I might actually be interested in. Sure, record stores are all over the place, but they're filled with thousands of used, discarded crap titles from the 60's and 70's.

Anyway, congratulations on the banishment. I probably would have self imposed it before accepting the gig, but that's just me.

Indeed - stage outfits are excellent indeed!

Speaking of said outfits, I still fail to understand what on Earth they thought you were going to perform. Britney Spears? Miley Cyrus? Emo-core?

Well, their lead vocalist wears female clothes, so maybe they got confused?

That's why they're making us perform acoustic there this week ..

We're playing the Hot Topic in Frederick Maryland on Wendsday. Acoustic
At least our lead singer and Rhythm guitarist wear cloths from there , though our music doesn't fit.. The main reason we're doing it ? Money, and hitting the under 21 demographic , which we hardly ever get to be seen by. Also, we're looking to record our second album and the band coffers need filled. We'll play anywhere we can make a buck at this point.

Wait a minute... You're saying that Hot Topic actually pays those horrible local bands I always see in there? Or do they just get money from merch sales?

Haha, even though Hot Topic's one of the only clothes stores in a mall I will shop at, nice job! Although they do have their fair share of the shitty emo bands, they have some cool t-shirts there.

But I don't understand why they would have you play there if they didn't know your music well enough first. Anyways, I think you should write a song about this, banned from Hot Topic sounds like a cool song
