Municipal Waste were getting warmed up for their show a freak flood occurred inside the venue. During Goatwhore's set, a fan decided it would be a good idea to climb on the pipes in the ceiling. Little did he know, that climbing the pipes would pull down one of the pipes causing the sprinkler system to go off and flood the venue.
After an hour of confusion the band and the promoter decided to move the show into another room in the same venue. Once the decision was made, word of mouth got out on the street, and all of a sudden there was a larger crowd then originally had shown up for the flooded show. The band took the stage for a much longer set then usual and played crowd requests as well. Earache Records (36 comments)

What is this, punkpressreleases.org? From my inbox: "Last night in Houston, TX at The Meridian just as MUNICIPAL WASTE were getting warmed up for their show a freak flood occurred inside the venue. During Goatwhore’s set, a fan decided it would be a good idea to climb on the pipes in the ceiling. Little did he know, that climbing the pipes would pull down one of the pipes causing the sprinkler system to go off and flood the venue. The WASTE guys were in their dressing room and the fire alarm started to go off. Lead singer Tony Foresta went to the stage to find pipes shooting water everywhere. Everyone emptied out of the club into the street for the time being. The band grabbed all of their gear and brought it out of the venue and into the street. After an hour of confusion the band and the promoter decided to move the show into show rest of comment 8+ Replies

i saw almost the same thing happen at a Blood for Blood/One King Down show in boston when i was a teen, shit was epic. the funny part was, it was really hot and people started jumping under the broken pipe...until they caught the smell and realized it was a shit pipe.
