The Savannah Metal-Punx Birthday Bash took place over the weekend in the States and featured eight bands, including Eyehategod, Ringworm, and Enabler. Things went pear shaped however when the promoter disappeared without paying anyone.
Ringworm posted the following on their facebook page:
"So, yeah, us, Enabler and Eyehategod got ripped off in Savannah, GA. The promoter, Floyd Lionel, left and didn't pay any of us. His email is [redacted] and phone is [redacted] (although it appears to be shut off)."
Promoter Floyd Lionel however released this on his Facebook page this morning:
"First apologies all around for Saturday not making excuses but I suffer from Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) what you witnessed Saturday night was a person having a full blown mental breakdown due to a lot of undue stress from what was already a very long and stressful day, My departure was not based upon any attempt to avoid responsibilities or as some corners have said 'run off with band money.' But to prevent a situation that could have quite easily deteriorated into a far worse harmful situation for myself and others around me. Again apologies to all whom were directly adversely affected by my breakdown."
