Item! Duder from Mest murders some guy
And you thought that pop punk was for pansies. Apparently, Tony Lovato... frontman for one-hit wonders Mest, and back-in-the-day drummer for the Blue Island white power band Confederate Storm, was arrested for the murder of this guy. Thing is, he didn't kill him like a popper, he stabbed the dude, which is pretty hard (meaning both difficult and -core). Obviously, this sucks the most for the victim, Wayne Hughes, who gets kind of lost behind fans of punk music, who are laughing their asses off about the whole thing, and fans of Mest, who are handling this with obvious poise and class.
Apparently, Tony is out on a million-dollar bail. In my opinion, he's missing a great opportunity by not staying in prison, where he could become some sort of epic emo Tupac that blows everyone's mind. Perhaps Tony should seek the counsel of Bertrand Cantat, singer for the French dancepunk act Noir Desir who is still quite beloved, despite beating his girlfriend to death in 2003.
Update! Lovato was cleared of charges, won't become some sort of soulful jailhouse Tom Waits emo Tupac God, and will still have to live with the legacy of singing that crap-ass song "What's the Dillio?"
whoa! I see I'm late on the response, but I had no idea!
Mest was part of one of the first punk shows I ever saw. Struggles theater battle of the bands at 115th and kedzie. They were no longer confederate storm but their crew definitely was.
Boneheads throwing up the heil hitler and a big speech about how unity is needed between ALL skinheads and punks (yup, the racist ones and the antis) led to a cover of unity by OPIV.
Right before the 35 y/o deathmetal band played, someone with them intentionally tripped the sprinkler system. The police came, the shady owners pocketed the prize money and the show was cancelled.

At least I got to smoke cigarettes and look cool.
Those Mest dudes are fucked.
