All Time Low’s Jack Barakat, thanks to Vic­toria Morse

All Time Low were stopped from play­ing a second night at Six Flags. The first night, appar­ently the crowd got a bit excited, and secur­ity then sprayed them with mace. The venue then told fans that the band had pulled out of the gig, accord­ing to Alex’s twit­ter.

Hay­ley Wil­li­ams’ (Para­more) twit­ter account was allegedly hacked earlier this week, res­ult­ing in top­less pic­tures of her mak­ing their way onto the internet.

The Sound Strike, a group of artists includ­ing Zach de la Rocha (Rage Against The Machine), Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes), Rise Against, Serj Tankian, Sonic Youth, Ten­a­cious D, Cypress Hill, Kanye West and more, is call­ing for a boy­cott on Ari­zona, due to its con­tro­ver­sial new law that requires the author­it­ies to determ­ine the immig­ra­tion status of any­one they sus­pect of being in the coun­try illeg­ally. The group argue that this will inev­it­able lead to racial pro­fil­ing, and dis­crim­in­a­tion against non-whites.

Imo­gen Heap believes that tours are no longer prof­it­able enough for artists. Read more about it here.

Unfor­tu­nately, Sum 41’s Stevo has been involved in a minor acci­dent, and so the band will be post­pon­ing a num­ber of their European dates.

Fat Mike has admit­ted that he did not serve fans his urine at the SXSW gig, as we repor­ted pre­vi­ously. He has released video foot­age from a second cam­era, show­ing him swap­ping the bottle of urine for a second bottle before com­ing on stage.
