Six months after the original incident, the charges against Saddle Creek act Two Gallants have finally been dropped.

In October of 2006, the band was involved in a incident in which many complained of police brutality. A police officer named G.M. Rodriguez entered the club to investigate a noise complaint and the band explained the events in a statement made soon after:

We were in the middle of a song and there was kind of an instrumental section of the song between verses, and I go over near Tyson with my back to the side of the stage where my microphone was, so I had my back to the whole right side of the stage, facing Tyson. […] But when I turned around to sing the last verse, this cop was there.

I think he was getting on the stage right when I was turning around. Had a flashlight in his hand and it was turned on, he was pointing it at me and walking towards me and yelling at us to stop. And I questioned him--I don't remember my exact words, but I don't think it matters. I asked 'why?', or said 'what's the problem?' just wanting to have some explanation, which I think I'm lawfully due.

A fight broke out and Rodriguez used a taser on several people, including a 14-year old "repeatedly." Two Gallants frontman Adam Stephens and drummer Tyson Vogel. as well as the Trainwreck Riders' Andrew Kerwin and bassist Sean Kohler were arrested. Vogel was charged with a misdemeanor for "interfering with a public servant."

The charges have been dropped, but Pitchfork questioned the band about whether they intend to pursue legal action:

In some ways I wish that we could, and I feel sort of defeated in that sense. I mean, it's great that I don't have to go back and I don't have anything on my record or anything like that, but it seems somewhat wrong just to let it go. The thing is that with the state of my life at the moment, too, on top of the actual money that it would take to do something like that, I just can't do it. But also I don't think, if there was a proper case to build behind actually bringing something back to the police, I don't know if there is proper evidence or anything, you know? It's all speculation. There's no bruises, there's no pictures, there's just accounts, eye-witness accounts. I don't know, I wish that that were enough, but I feel like that would, again, take months. It's so frustrating, you know?

On June 19, 2007, the band will be releasing The Scenery of Farewell
