This had to be said…again.
Treaty Oak Revival has had some nice success and their rise to fame is going very well for the boys from West Texas. They’ve also been one of the most controversial bands in the genre as of late. Beyond the fact that their patented blend of country, rock and grunge has infuriated the likes of many die-hard country purists, their rowdy live shows have also caught some major flack over the past year.
It’s not like Treaty Oak themselves are doing anything never seen before at concerts. They get up onstage and crank up the sound to play music. They’re paid to do a show and they perform very well. It’s their fans that get a little insane during one of their songs.
It’s safe to say that insane part happens during their live performances of their 2021 fan-favorite “Boomtown”.
Treaty Oak’s “Boomtown” tradition at each and every one of their concerts…simply put, it gets stupid every night, with frontman, Sam Canty, and company starting the song off by giving fans in the front of the pit a good ole beer shower. So, they kind of start the madness at their shows.
As it is with many good things, it has turned into some chaos at quite a few shows. There have been a few different occasions where some drunk audience members decided to chuck nearly full beer cans recklessly into the crowd, even hitting other fans in the head. I don’t know anyone would throw a full beer at any show. Especially considering how much a single beer can cost. It’s pure stupidity.
Frontman Sam has even gotten hit by a seemingly full (or near-full) beer can at their South Carolina show back in September, and that left a mark. Their show at the Ryan, which was memorable, was also a shit show and that’s mother church of country music.
Now Sam himself, is calling for fans to stop throwing beers during the show, it hasn’t stopped in the slightest though. It’s gotten even worse at some shows with fans now throwing chairs into the crowd. Yes, actually chairs.
Treaty Oak recently took to Instagram to once again reiterate that enough is enough when it comes to throwing things at their shows.
“We’ve seen the videos, and we’re not happy with what we’re seeing. We put signs up, but I guess y’all don’t see them. So we will say it from us directly: Please stop throwing shit into the crowd or at the stage during ‘Boomtown.’
We’re all for beer showers; we’re all for crowd surfing. We’re all raging and having a good time, but please do not throw hard objects into the f***ing crowd. It’s hurting people, and we don’t f***ing condone it. So please, take care of each other. We’re family. Let’s have f***ing fun… Don’t throw sh*t.”
