Crazy Town lived up to their band name following a disastrous show this past weekend in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Co-vocalists Seth Binzer (aka Shifty Shellshock) and Bobby Reeves got into a bloody fight with each other after Binzer didn’t show up until the very end of the gig.
The band is best known for their monster hit “Butterfly,” which topped the charts in 2001. Footage from the outdoor concert shows Reeves trying to perform the songs without Binzer, at one point getting fans to sing “Butterfly” after he apparently forgot the words. During another song, he says, “I’m so mad at fuckin’ Shifty right now.”
Post-concert footage shows the two members engaged in a brutal fight backstage, with Binzer pummeling Reeves with blow after blow on the ground while saying something about Reeves stealing his money. After a while, Binzer helps Reeves up, who eventually starts punching Binzer.
