Here are a few of the complaints they have about the tour:

  • They were forced to play short sets in mostly empty venues because managers refused to open the doors for shows
  • The public address system was off, or fiddled with during their shows
  • They weren’t allowed to sell merchandise
  • They weren’t given a dressing room
  • They were hit with heavy equipment
  • On one tour stop, they say tour crew members ran on stage in monkey masks and sprayed them “with water guns filled with urine”

The Raskins have named several production companies in the $30 million lawsuit.
