Screeching Weasel banned from Disney’s Houses of Blues

According to Ben Weasel‘s Twitter feed, his band Screeching Weasel has been banned from the House of Blues venues owned by Disney in Anaheim and Orlando. Over the course of a few tweets, he explained:

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.

Screeching Weasel has some confirmed shows in Toronto in May.
