Ben Weasel Slams Former Screeching Weasel Bandmates

In March four of the five-piece punk outfit said they'd left because of Weasel's "lack of dignity" after he badmouthed the festival they were playing then became involved in an altercation with a member of the audience.

Video footage showed him losing control in an already tense environment in Austin, Texas, after a woman threw beer at him. He tried to attack her but was pushed back by security staff. As a crowd of crew surrounded him he waved at the audience and the band left the stage. A number of bands then pulled out of the planned Weaselfest event, forcing its cancellation.
