Serious question: How would you feel if you found a good friend of yours was affiliating themselves with someone you (and many others) know to be a legit piece of shit?
A small time promoter in FL was accused and found proven of domestic abuse, blackmail, and selling his gf's nudes to pay his show guarantees (didn't have an actual job). He also set up a benefit show for his best friend who commited suicide, to help pay for funeral costs, and he bailed on the family and took off with the 800 raised. As you would imagine he is hated by all of FL, as well as SC where he's from. Apparently he's back putting on some local scale fest called "Make Florida Mosh Again" (Original, I know). I feel conflicted on one of my closest friend's bands playing it, especially considering they've been outspoken about abuse in the past and in the music. Part of me wants to separate myself entirely from everyone involved, but I also wonder if I'm over thinking it.
Oh they know about him, they obviously still talk to him. One of the guys in the band was helping me book local shows when that shit all went down. But they have that "He hasn't done anything to us" mindset, putting their band over anything.

cynic was pretty much dead as a doornail as of a couple years ago anyway. they took a really shitty, immature public approach to it too. lost a lot of respect from me.
I'm at least curious to hear any potential new material. Masvidal always seemed more on the metal side of Cynic, and that Reinert was behind most of the KBTFU writing.
I got the opposite impression but they're not a band I ever paid a whole lot of attention to as far as interview and such. I just like their first two records

TLDR; I hate FL, and its dumb drama.
