Irish Band Make Statement After Sexual Harassment At One Of Their Gigs
Popular Dublin based band Otherkin are currently touring Europe following the release of their debut album Ok. They were performing in Camden, London on Thursday as they neared the end portion of the UK-leg of their tour.
The gig itself was a success, however, the band reported in a message posted to Twitter that they were approached by a fan after the gig who said that she'd been sexually harassed in a mosh-pit that had developed within the crowd.

While this is awful to hear about and disgraceful that someone's evening could be ruined so completely by a stranger, it is great to see such a strong and vocal reaction from the band, denouncing such behaviour.
The band's tour comes to a close with a gig in Dublin and Galway on December 15 & 16.
