I think Mr Pascal Robinson-Foster has either taken more than his fair share of mind-altering substances, or has some sort of stunted development. He’s skittering around with manic glee like a sterotype ‘naughty schoolboy’ who has just put a whoopie cushion under the headmaster’s chair.
He’s a nasty young man, but he’s a sandwich short of a picnic with it.
Punk rap duo Bob Vylan have had their next gig cancelled after their frontman made controversial comments about Charlie Kirk’s death on stage.
A clip from the Ipswich band’s performance at Amsterdam’s Club Paradiso on Saturday went viral – in which the band’s frontman hit out at Mr Kirk.
Bob Vylan were next set to perform at the 013 venue in Tilburg in the Netherlands on Tuesday.
The band, who led chants of “death to the IDF” at Glastonbury, which are the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation by Avon and Somerset Police, released a response to claims online that they were celebrating Kirk’s death.
Frontman Bobby Vylan, who keeps his real name private, (except the Times of India knows and has made it public – the front man is Pascal Robinson-Foster and the drummer is Wade Laurence George) said in a video response on X: “At no point during yesterday’s show was Charlie Kirk’s death celebrated.
“I did call him a piece of s***. That much is true. But at no point was his death celebrated. If it was, go find me a quote… that proves that we were celebrating his death. You’re not gonna find it, because it didn’t happen.” I think facial expression, the nuance of voice and demeanor on stage should also be looked at.
This is the incident. Here
That looks like a celebration to me.
In a statement, the 013 said the band’s most recent statements went “too far”.
“While we understand that these statements were made in the context of punk and activism, and that the reporting on them is sometimes less nuanced than what actually happened, we still believe these new statements go too far,” read the statement. “They no longer fall within the scope of what we can offer a platform.”
The venue said it had initially decided to let them perform “despite the controversy that arose after their Glastonbury performance”. It added that it was also because the duo clarified in a statement that the chant was “not an antisemitic slogan, but rather criticism of the Israeli army”.
