Screeching Weasel Banned from House of Blues

Ben Weasel of Screeching Weasel has been posting on his Twitter account that Screeching Weasel has been banned from the House of Blues venues owned by Disney in Anaheim and Orlando. He explained it saying:

House of Blues Orlando is on Disney property, so Disney has to approve all bands. [Screeching Weasel] = rejected. Reason: “content.” Sorry, Floridians. Promoter’s working on another venue. It’s weird. Necromatix & Bad Religion? No problem! SW? Apparently offensive! I’m dangerous! Finally! Also, this means no HOB Anaheim. Honestly I’m kind of tickled. I’m a square, churchgoing father of 2 from the suburbs who golfs & fishes. I assume when I take my kids to Disney World in a few years they won’t ban me from giving them $ for tickets, accommodations & merchandise. I don’t think it has anything to do with politics. Then again I have no idea what it DOES have to do with.

We recently did a length interview with Ben Weasel and Dan Vapid, it can be read here.
