THE FALL OF TROY Frontman & CHON Cover Nirvana at SXSW; Show Gets Shut Down by Fire Marshal

by Ryan Minic | Mar 20, 2015

If you happened to be at SXSW yesterday in Austin, maybe you checked out The Fall of Troy frontman Thomas Erak perform with CHON. The pair participated in Day 1 of Audiotree’s showcase where they played a set that included a cover of Nirvana’s “Heart-Shaped Box.”

Not only that, but immediately after the song the show got shut down by the fire marshal. Here’s footage of them performing the song and then getting told that the show is over (skip to 3:05:10).

PS – If for some reason you’re only seeing Audiotree’s current live stream from SXSW and not Thomas with CHON, just watch it on YouTube and you shouldn’t have any issues.

Back when I was a wee lad, 15 or so, At The Drive-In was by far my favorite band ever. Even today their music is on my top all-time list of kick ass bands next to groups like Fugazi and Faith No More. I remember in my pubescent years always thinking, whoever got to...
