Hit The Lights

Last night, Hit The Lights played a last minute booked show in the lovely town of Niles MI. The venue had a strict "17 and over" policy unless accompanied by a parent (after it was advanced as an ALL AGES show...) and the local police department had nothing better to do then hang around harrassing the kids and enforce the rule. The letter below is a email sent from an angry parent to our management about the events that unfolded and below that is our response. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Hello. I am the father of two sons who really have enjoyed the group Hit The Lights. I have even seen the group twice but last night at a show in Niles, MI they, despite having the small crowd of followers really happy, displayed some extrememly amateur stage verbage.

They certainly know that their music appeals primarily to ages 10-20 so to use cursing on stage and then to call the police, who were standing in the back, f___king d___khe__s, was way out of line.

As I said, the crowd was pleased despite the use of the F word a few times. The way to become more successful is to become more professional. Hopefully a few critics will help sharpen their skills because they have captured a great sound with fun songs.

Please relay this info. along and I hope to see them again in the area someday with even a stronger performance

Dear Daddy,
Its not our job to teach your kids to respect the police. It's yours, if you chose so. Our job is to make sure your kids have a good time and from the look of the smiles on their faces, we'd say mission accomplised. In a nutshell, you stick to your job and we'll stick to ours. Thanks for your continued support.

Skip school, fight your dad (and the popo)
