Last night, a small electrical fire was sparked during Soilent Green's set at the Fillmore, and everyone was evacuated before headliners Dethklok could go on. Here's the lowdown from the band's Myspace page:

SF Show at the FILLMORE CANCELED BECAUSE OF FIRE:

Last night June 6th a small electrical fire stopped the show stopped the DETHKLOK show from happening- everyone was evacuated safely and most importantly NO ONE WAS hurt.

The band was ready and excited to play especially because the Fillmore is an amazing and legendary kick ass venue. Ultimately the cops/fire department deemed the situation unsafe to perform and canceled the show- not the band, not the venue but the cops. The band was incredibly disappointed to find they couldn't play. But again most importantly NOBODY GOT HURT.

The people in suits are trying to find out what to do- hopefully there will be a rescheduled show. Do please check with THE FILLMORE'S website as they will be posting news as it comes to them.

Thanks to all the fans who remained incredibly cool, collected, and understanding during a possibly dangerous situation.

Sincerely,

Charles Offdensen

The Live Nation rep we contacted has yet to get back to us, but The Fillmore's website notes that the next upcoming shows - The Dan Band (slated for tonight, 6/7) and Fish (6/9) have been postponed and rescheduled. Not certain if that's related to what transpired, but there you have it.--Janine Kahn
