Cartoon punks: Gallows banned by Disneyland, plan 100 Club shows
- Artists:
- Gallows »
Gallows will return to London in March to reprise last year’s sweaty shows at the 100 Club on Oxford Street, after being banned from appearing at Disneyland.
The comically angry quintet were supposed to play the show at Disneyland in Anaheim, Orange County as support to Californian punk veterans Social Distortion. But while the local act escaped without censure, the Watford wrecking crew were pulled up when Walt got hold of a lyric sheet to debut album Orchestra of Wolves.
“If I offer to buy you a drink
Trust me when I say it's non-alcoholic
You're no good to me if you can't even speak
I don't want you passing out I want you sucking my dick
If I offer to buy you a drink
Trust me when I say it's non-alcoholic
I want you to wake up and remember my name
When you're washing my cum off your fucking face .“
HUUURRR not what you’d called sing-along-songs, Mr Carter.
"I think Mickey Mouse got jealous that Minnie Mouse had Gallows posters on her wall,” sayeth guitarist Laurent Barnard. “That kind of stuff happens a lot. I recommend Mickey shows Minnie some more attention, you know, take her out and make her feel special. Cartoon mice need love too."
The band follow in the footsteps of the Dillinger Escape Plan and Machine Head in being barred from the House of Blues on site in Anaheim.
To return to the original thread of this story, Gallows play the 100 Club on the 3rd and the 4th of March – you can get tickets now, here. The dates come at the end of a tour with Fucked Up and SSS.
Before that, there’s a single - ‘Just Because You Sleep Next To Me Doesn’t Mean You’re Safe’ will be issued on 7” and download on the 25th of February.

From the archive
Why has no one yet commented on those lyrics?
and from the 'coolest man in rock' aswell? WHOOOOOO MISOGYNY!!!!
hah!
who would have thought Gallows weren't a Disney suitable band?
I don't *think*
they're meant to be taken literally... but still, they're RUDE. My mum would be, "That's ever so rude". And she'd be right.
Memo to Mr Barnard
Mickey and Minnie are fictional cartoon characters, and as such cannot go out together or have sex. Someone had to break it to you.
that's well funny
i bet he thought they were real and everyything, what a prick
oh. maybe the joke is all in the delivery...
which i'd rather not ever hear. It reads like something fiddy rejected as not comedic enough.
At the start of the track
He introduces himself as a character, "who's basically a man". So it's satire. Tsch, Disney! They have hotels there, do you not think paying guests are wiping cum off their fucking face on a nightly basis?
...doesn't quite work though.
(innit)
And here starts
the inevitable Gallows backlash.
Fuck you Walt. Fuck you.
Kiddie band says rude word
stirs up 'controversy'. Yawn.
Yeah,
I was wondering when the backlash would begin.
i think
that this song is awesome, and hilarious.
that started ages ago
when everyone realised they're shit.
Could you
not ironicly like them like i assume you do the get up kids?
Cause they really are shit.
The lyrics really aren't misogynistic
Look up the lyrics to the entire song
i think it MAY be
tongue in cheek
...but
he's being a responsible role model. Look: he's advocating abstinence from alcohol. Or maybe Disney are being paid by the US alcohol industry? I think I've stumbled upon a conspiracy here...
let's not forget...
Walt Disney is pushing social and sexual hierarchy.
walt disney
was a filthy racist.
Thats why all black people, asian people and jews are banned from all disney parks. Also why the same people are banned from watching/buying/renting Disney films.
FACT
Unrelated to the actual story,
the fact that they are touring and being supported by SSS and Fucked Up is amazing.
I saw a black dancer in the parade at Disneyland Paris
In the Hercules section, but his foam muscles were a generic white...?!?
they contain the term 'well buff'
thus are rubbish. ironical or not.
you can like them ironically if you like
but we'll have to agree to disagree on TGUK.
