MadridNOCHE - Las Chicks on Speed en apuros

CHICKS ON SPEED PHYSICALLY VIOLATED BY SECURITY PROMOTERS AND
SPONSORS AT A FESTIVAL IN SOUTHERN SPAIN

Dear Everyone,

We wanted to let you all know, we had one of the worst experiences of our 10
year musical career on Saturday night, we were physically violated and
dragged off stage by security, Ortiz Padillo Promoters and commercial
sponsors at Oxigena Festival, near Cordoba, in Southern Spain. We were
denied our right to perform at the festival as contracted and our fees were
not honoured. It was clear that the public attendance of the festival was
extremely low and the promoters wouldn´t allow us to play for this reason,
so they could claim insurance on the premise, of a cancelled headlining act.
The promoters and Sponsors falsely claimed that "the band is late" as we
entered the stage at 1.25am, 5 minutes prior to the planned stage time of
1.30am as contracted.

Photo documentation has been taken away from us, our camera was smashed and
memory card stolen.

We want to expose these criminal acts and the organisations responsible for
abusing and robing artists through their business practices and the
unethical networks of festivals and concert promoters. It´s clearly a case
of abuse against women, destruction of personal property, breach of contract
and assault.

We´re pretty freaked out & scared by what we experienced. It would be really
good to have your support in any way, the organizers were trying to make
quick cash from the festival. Look out for scammers that are abusing
musicians and swindling young people looking to have a fun evening.

KEEP MUSIC ABOUT ART & CULTURE & A WILD FUN TIME TO BE TOGETHER & NOT A
MEANS FOR HORRIBLE MEN TO MAKE PILES MONEY.
