Police shut down Odd Future show in Boston

by Tyler Munro

This isn’t exactly surprising, given both Odd Future’s live reputation and Boston’s recent crack down on, y’know…having fun, but last night’s OFWGKTA show at the House of Blues was shut down after one of the crew’s members was apparently arrested outside of the venue. No word yet on who the arrested member was.

Watch the video at the top of the post to see a bit of Tyler, the Creator’s apology to the crowd. He gets in a few words about how he wanted to finish the show but wasn’t allowed. Comments on the video’s YouTube page lead us to believe that the gig was nearly finished when all of this went down, but we’re not ones to speculate.

You might remember that Odd Future caused a ruckus in Boston when they took to the city’s rooftops. Similarly, Boston’s House of Blues was targeted by police after a recent Flogging Molly show prompted a city-wide crackdown on “slam dancing.” [via Pitchfork]
