Apparently Milwaukee isn't all beer and Sausage Races.
Eric Ellis, guitarist for Boston hardcore denizens Bury Your Dead, was held at gunpoint there after a show while being attacked with hammers by teens who were apparently being initiated into a gang.
Ellis needed 18 staples to close a gash in his head, but the band is going to continue on with their tour. In a statement they said, "It will take more than this to stop Bury Your Dead, we'll see you soon."
Here's video from a recent Bury Your Dead performance--language and drumming are NSFW:
