Geordie Greep Denies Rape Allegation During Vancouver Concert
Former black midi frontman Geordie Greep denied an allegation of rape during a concert in Vancouver on Thursday night (October 8th), after an individual distributed fliers outside the venue accusing him of sexual assault.
Greep took the stage without his usual backing band and addressed the allegation directly, telling the audience: “Essentially what happened last night, me and some of the band we went out to some bars, we went out, we met people, and it ended up in a situation really late at a house party. I got the wrong end of the stick with someone who was there, and I made a move, and it didn’t come off.”
“I really quickly apologized, and it was a complete misunderstanding on my part, and I felt extremely bad, I feel extremely sorry, and extremely upset about the situation,” he continued. “I would never rape a woman. I’m not a rapist. It’s not how that went down.”
The flier, which was reportedly distributed outside the venue ahead of the show, read: “Geordie Greep A Rapist. You know what you did this morning Oct 8th. He thinks he can do whatever he wants because he’s gone tomorrow. Let Him Know What Vancouver Thinks of Rapists.”
Greep went on to explain why his backing band would not be performing that evening.
“It’s a very strange thing to have happened and a very scary thing, so all of the band, I understand that I didn’t want to force them to still play a show in the light of that happening. We were unsure what the response would be to all this, and I can only tell you that it’s OK if people want refunds, if they want to leave, it’s fine.”
He also said he planned to donate the show’s proceeds to an anti-violence organization in British Columbia.
“I just wanted to be transparent with you about what happened. I’m very, very, very sorry; I made someone uncomfortable without meaning to. It’s not a good thing, it’s not good.”
Greep then performed a solo set for audience members who chose to remain at the venue.
Consequence has reached out to Greep’s representatives for more information.
