FROM CRO-MAGS:
We are all okay. I guess when you're a racist with a swatstika tattoo and your wife leaves you for a black man and no one will play music with you because of YOUR shitty attitude Mr Flanagan - you resort to ruining shit for everyone by stabbing your replacement. Cro-Mags will make up the show with S.O.A.I. We apologize. PMA always wins!

"We as a band are truly sorry for the way it all turned out in every regard, even the ex-member whose family is now affected by his choices. Our prayers go out to them as well as Mike C. [Michael 'The Gook' Couls], and the others who were hurt, but it was 'his' choice to come to our concert with a hunting knife, standing by our dressing door. Who knows what his actual intent was?! Obviously he wasn't there with it to cut bread for a peace offering as he was heard saying outside he was putting an end to us playing without him. Let's move on now and stop the trash-talking. Keep that PMA — that's what we are all."
FROM WEBSTER HALL: (NYC):
“Due to circumstances beyond our control, tonight’s event has been postponed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.”
FROM SICK OF IT ALL:
"We want to apologize to all our fans. Just so it's clear the incident that happen had nothing to do with any of the bands playing tonight! We were so psyched to play and we are just as disappointed as all of you. Also it was the police that shut the show down not the club or the bands."
FROM CBGB FESTIVAL PROMOTERS:
We are saddened to learn about the events that occurred last night at Webster Hall. Our primary concern is always the safety and experience of New Yorkers, music fans and the general public. Naturally we will fully cooperate with law enforcement while hoping for the speedy recovery of those injured.
Live music can be incredibly uplifting, empowering and positive. We don't feel the actions of one person should overshadow four amazing days and nights of events that include today's historic and unprecedented free concerts in Times Square and Central Park.
-The CBGB Festival
