Melbourne lads Cuntz are currently in the midst of a US tour as they prepare for the release of their third album, Force The Zone. The tour was meant to include a stop at Seattle’s Victory Lounge, but things went a little awry.

As Stereogum reports, the promoter of the band’s Victory Lounge show cancelled the band’s performance after deciding that the name of the group was too offensive (despite booking an upcoming gig for a band known as Child Abuse).

“It’s not up to me to decide what is and isn’t offensive to folks, but I do feel like it’s my responsibly to listen to the voices of my friends, peers and fellow musicians who have been upset by me booking a band called Cuntz,” said promoter C.J. Frederick.

“I decide to stand with my lady friends and feminist friends on this issue … Apologies to folks who have been hurt and/or offended by this show. This is NOT the kind of thing I want DASWASUPGIG to represent and I admit to having rolled the dice when I should have just said ‘no thanks.’”

Nicole Erin Yalaz of Strange Victory Touring, who handle Cuntz, expressed her disappointment in a Facebook post, referring to the “college kids” she claimed were responsible for cancelling the gig as “trolls”. “I’m so disgusted right now,” she wrote.

“So sick of these rich young college kids who think that trolling a show into being cancelled is making a difference in the world. I hope you all die from your PTSD.” FasterLouder reports the show will go on at the Lucky Liquor bar next week.
