Hesh Denies Security Troubles for RFD Performances
By JEREMY CLARIDGE

Hesh Records spokesman Kai Cinelli vehemently denied allegations late last week that the string of performances it has organised for top pop band Roll for Damage have suffered from insufficient security. The accusations come hard on the heels of reports from numerous fans about poor crowd control after a surprise club performance at The Click.

According to witnesses, the number of fans who rushed to the venue to try to catch the performance vastly exceeded the club's capacity. Complaints filed against Hesh claim the resulting crowd remained in the street "milling aimlessly" and completely blocking traffic in both directions on Fivebridges Lane for nearly two hours. Marmalejo College student Virgil Kim, one of the many hopefuls who didn't make it into the audience, said the scene was "really frightening. ... There was a bad mood in the crowd, everyone was so disappointed. It's pretty surprising that it didn't get ugly." No injuries were reported, though some Fivebridges Lane business owners reported minor accidental property damage.

Cinelli insists that the performance was planned in accordance with the company's best practices, but that the crowd reaction to this impromptu show "took us all by surprise." He noted that as The Click is the club where Roll for Damage first rose to stardom, it is to be expected that so many fans would want to see the band return to its roots.

Police lieutenant Heidi Lokhande noted that the police did not receive notification that the road was blocked for nearly half an hour after the show began. "We can't resolve problems we don't know about," she said. "After we learned of the issue, we had to call in some volunteer forces to help in peacefully dispersing the crowd." She said that the situation might have been significantly less severe had the police been contacted sooner.

The band has refused to rule out the possibility of announcing further surprise shows. Cinelli insists, though, that Hesh makes the safety of its audience its top priority, and that concert-goers would be perfectly safe attending such a concert. Nonetheless, "We plan to work more closely with the city police in the future," Cinelli said.
