The Dopamines involved in a stabbing (sorta)

Here’s a random, but entertaining story involving The Dopamines.  This was posted on Paper + Plastick from the band regarding an incident after a show in Columbus, Ohio

“we were at the end of a long driveway, sitting on the bumper of the back of our open van, starting to load out. jonW, his girlfriend Lauren, Thomas from Doppelganger and i were bullshitting when all of the sudden what we though to be an M80 went off about 20 feet behind us. we laughed it off. then 6 more went off in a weird succession so we took note. then we heard screaming coming from the house. so i put jon’s GF under the bunk in the back of the van and also got in. jonW locked us in and ran into the cab of the van, and locked the doors as people went running by the van. then someone started hitting the van, then i heard the window get blown out. then someone was screaming “dopamines!” which led me to believe that this dude who blew out the window was after us. i called the cops, but by the time i went through the automated bullshit a helicopter and about 10 cars pulled up all over the house.

so, apparently, during he last band, a fight broke out between a 13 year old juggalo and a random guy. the juggalo stabbed the kid, and the other 5 juggalos that were with him bailed out the back door, one fired a 22 into the air, and as they ran off, busted out a window in the van in front of us, as well as ours, with his pistol. someone yelled “dopamines!” because they were warning us that people were fucking up our van, not knowing we were in it, scared to death. so the window was an afterthought to these rednecks. they didn’t even know it was our van. in fact, they loved our set and bought records.”

For those of you who have no freakin’ clue what a juggalo is (I sure didn’t) go here.

The Dopamines recently signed to Paper + Plastick and are releasing a new album entitled Expect The Worst, in late June on LP/Digital download.
