Nothing seemed to go right for Chris Liebing this past weekend. Between the weather and the show getting shut down by the police there was much frustration. Andrew took to Facebook to express his emotions.

“I don’t know where to start, so much happened yesterday. First I wanted to tell you about the travel nightmare coming to NYC. My flight cancellation due to a(nother) Lufthansa strike followed by a rebooked flight via London where I ended up having a 5h delay that only got me to NYC after midnight. But well, I don’t wanna complain too much, things like that happen when on the road and you gotta learn to handle them.

When I finally got to the great looking Warehouse in Brooklyn, Yaya played to a packed floor and had a fantastic vibe going. I quickly forgot about my travel day and got ready for a long journey together with you. Very sadly things didn’t work out this way. About 2,5h into my set I got told to stop the music, because of the Police showing up to do some sort of inspection. This took a while and when we were allowed to turn the sound back on it was only on very low volume.

We were all hoping things would sort out quickly and that the sound would be turned up again eventually, but after another while it became clear that this would not be allowed anymore by the authorities. Ultimately we had to end completely.

Here is the part I don’t get. Everything was sorted out, the promoters had all the permits and licenses (I personally saw the documents), everything was peaceful, no one was bothered by noise or anything. There was no reason known to me for the police to shut down this party, yet they did. It made no sense and seems totally arbitrary.

I am disappointed and frustrated (as most of you I guess). I was looking forward to a great long night together in Brooklyn. I hope at least at the time the music was on, you all had fun and I can return soon to make up for it.”

Chris, we felt your frustration as well and hope that you will return soon to play the set that you were meant to!
