French DJ Alan Braxe has been accused of urinating onstage during a DJ set in San Francisco.
The French come with a certain reputation: surly cheese fans with a propensity for going on strike. But urinating onstage? That’s just going too far…
As FACT points out, French DJ Alan Braxe recently breezed into San Francisco to play a show at the DNA Lounge. The turntablist was unable to complete the set, with the venue later posting a statement explaining why:
– – –
Turns out that our headlining DJ last night, Alan Braxe, has a bladder control problem. That’s the generous explanation for why he decided, in the middle of his DJ set, to turn around and piss on our back-wall curtain instead of using the restroom which is twenty feet away.
After his set, when we had tossed him out, he was aghast that we chose not to let him back in. We said that we’d be happy to let him in if he paid us what it was going to cost to have the curtain cleaned. He declined. Also he threatened to sue us. “For what?” I inquired. “Because I wouldn’t come out and talk to him,” Barry tells me.
Well, good luck with that.

Hitting back, Alan Braxe’s representatives have denied the allegations. In a statement (via Pitchfork) the DJ’s people said:
“I would just like to confirm this is a complete fabrication of the truth and Alain in no way urinated on any curtain or wall. This is a personal attack on Alain and something we will be taking very seriously indeed.”
Editor’s note: the opening comment about the French is tongue in cheek.
