May 19th, 2013 Anthony Galasso

Alexisonfire Kicked Out Of Bar After Bouncer Pushes Wade MacNeil’s Wife

December 23rd, 2012 Dan Bogosian

Alexisonfire has gotten back for a few farewell shows this month. There’s only a handful of shows left, and then the band will be no more. Last night in Montreal, Canada, the band went to a bar. First hand reporting from guitarist and vocalist Wade MacNeil suggests the band got kicked out after reacting to a bouncer pushing his wife.

Perhaps one day Alexisonfire will play a show in Montreal and denounce the bar in front of that crowd again. We’re still hoping they’ll one day do an American farewell tour, although that ship seems to have long since sailed.…
