Stage diving and getting rowdy at punk, metal and hardcore shows is par for the course. There’s an unstated rule and understanding that you enter at your own risk, and might get a bruise or two along the way in exchange for a bit of a primal release.
But access to the stage has its own set of rules and etiquette – you get on it to jump right off of it. Or to grab the mic and sing along briefly… if that’s the vibe. Basically- read the room and act accordingly.
So when a show goer at a recent Show Me the Body gig used the stage as an opportunity to dance along solo and take a prolonged selfie & video mid-song, band vocalist Julian was not having it. Said audience member got, well, bodied, into the PA.
The band posted video of the incident to their Instagram, embedded below.
