RIP Roseland Theater (Portland)


Okay, maybe it's not the end of Portland's Roseland Theater but it's surely the last time rapper Action Bronson gets invited there.  As you can see in the video, he lit a joint on stage last Monday night and threw it to the audience, and then toked on one of his own. Security intervened, a shoving match ensued, the house lights came up, and the show was over.  

From what I could tell, he got further into his set then Panic! At The Disco did before the creaky old floor at The Tabernacle gave out Friday night in Atlanta.

I've been to a couple of shows at the Roseland, including Nacho Picasso, Chvrches, and Godspeed! You Black Emperor during last years' MFNW, and Reignwolf and Those Darlins' during MFNW 2012.  The audience was just as overwhelmingly caucasian at those events as that shown in this video (hey, it's Oregon).
