The promoter of a multi-band show cancelled an appearance by a neo-Nazi band at a West Side nightspot, according to a Gay Liberation Network press release.
The band Evil Incarnate was scheduled to perform Dec. 19 at the White Star Bar, 3049 N. Cicero. In its song "Killer of Faggots," Evil Incarnate sings, "N----r lovers and faggots/ Bullets in your head/ N----r lovers and faggots/ Now your [ sic ] dead/ Luftwaffa nazi arial [ sic ] assault/ Pounding from air never to halt/ Flak 88's and panzer divisions/ Bombing the faggots into oblivion," the release stated.
"I myself am Mexican," said concert promoter Renato Brierio in the statement. "I don't appreciate that kind of racist or anti-homosexual b.s."
According to its MySpace site, Evil Incarnate is slated to perform at Chicagoland's Blasphemer Fest June 20, and Urbana's Canopy Club July 23-24.
