Trapt are apparently dealing with the ipromiseyoumedias of the singer Chris Taylor Brown’s excessive right-wing feedback lately, with quite a few venues dropping dates from the band’s ongoing acoustic tour.
The trek was imagined to kick off in Pittsburgh earlier this month at SideQuest on forty fourth, however the venue — one in all 4 to drop the band on the tour — wasn’t having it. Trapt had been compelled to improvise, and with the obvious assist of the promoter, moved the gig to an impromptu stage at The Constructing for Arts and Tradition in North Versailles, Pennsylvania.
In a since-deleted video message to followers, Chris Taylor Brown addressed the dropped reveals and blamed venues for caving to “cancel tradition” [as transribed by The PRP]:
“Trapt is in Pittsburgh tonight, and we had a pair venues cave to cancel tradition in the previous couple of weeks, and it was going to be actually exhausting to do the present. However we determined we’re doing it it doesn’t matter what. So we bought a stage collectively. We bought this venue, referred to as The Constructing For Arts And Tradition. We bought some Bud Lights, White Claw, you recognize, and simply every thing that our followers are going to wish to have a good time with us tonight.
And I need to thank all of the venues on the market — it’s in all probability about 35 out of like 39 reveals that didn’t cave to cancel tradition. The couple venues that did in Pittsburgh… , they, trolls, they are saying… they lie about issues I mentioned 5 years in the past and the joke I made — I did apologize for that, for my insensitivity, for anyone who was who’s harm by that. However, yeah, we moved on. Our followers have moved on. There’s a couple of individuals who haven’t, however yeah, we did this present… We had been, we had been gonna do that present it doesn’t matter what.”

The injury was performed, nonetheless, throughout COVID instances, when Brown made a collection of headlines for far-right remarks and pro-MAGA rants.
