Blowfly's Drummer Ruins Knitting Factory Show!

Apparently an Ex-member of the band showed up and was spotted by Blowfly.
Blowlfy was happy to see him and said something to the effect of "hey thats my buddy Frane"!
Thats when The Drummer (Tom Bowker) interjected and started shouting on the mic about this guy owing the band money.
Then he gets Antiseen frontman Jeff Clayton along with a supesized fan from San Diego knicknamed "Kegger" to escort this man out of the club.
The drummer then proceeds to berate him and calls him a Hippie and takes other cheap shots while he gets dragged off by the goons who buy the drummers story hook,line and sinker!

After he's ejected from the club another fan jumps onstage and gets in the drummers face and tells him what a shitty drummer he is.
It's already common knowledge what a shitty drummer Tom Bowker is anyway!
Just ask any of the former band members who have played and recorded with him over the last 3 to4 years!
Infact the last band to tour Europe with him back in Sept./Oct 07 reffered to him as "The Incredible Suck".
And to think that legendary Fishbone Bassist Norwood Fisher is currently part of the west coast tour lineup lending his old friend BF a helping hand.
Reports from the show say that he did not look very thrilled to be onstage with such weak drummer behind him and i'm sure that this entire incident did not hold up well with him either.
One fan told me that "Norwood playing with Tom is the equivalent of Michael Jordan joining a Special Olympics basketball team"!
Of course the real victim here is Clarence"Blowfly"Ried an R&B/Funk Icon who has the unfunkiest motherfucker alive as a"Drummer"/"Manager"!

People come to see Blowfly not some schmuck in a Uncle Sam outfit disrespecting the music and the fans huffin and puffin on the mic and butchering BLowfly's classic grooves!
STay tuned for more blogs!I'm not through by a longshot!
