The band, who were playing as part of the Manchester Calling event, were later asked to leave the venue(Image: TikTok: @garageflowerband)<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat we saying Manchester?,\u201d the lead singer asked the crowd to a muted reaction. \u201cThat were ****ing ******, what are we saying? Got told this was sold out, bro. ****ing noone in here.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the video, the band then claimed that someone had \u2018****ed about with our sound\u2019 and had \u2018already turned the lead guitar off once\u2019. In apparent frustration, the singer then throws a guitar off the stage before walking off.<\/p>\n
\u201cTravelled down from Leeds to be messed about like that,\u201d the band said in the video. \u201cSee, Bread Shed, yeah. Absolute ******* bro. **** em bro, **** this festival.\u201d<\/p>\n
The video then appears to show an interaction with an individual, who responds to an alleged comment from the band. The man is heard saying: \u201cHe just said we\u2019re a bunch of *****, i\u2019ll slap his ****ing face off the little ****.\u201d<\/p>\n

The man is then heard adding: \u201cI do this for a living. I\u2019m not some ****ing twenty-year-old snot nosed kid. I\u2019ll make sure you won\u2019t get booked. You won\u2019t get any more bookings in this city.\u201d<\/p>\n
The M.E.N reached out to representatives for the band, and was told they would not be commenting on the video. A spokesperson for The Bread Shed said the video had been ‘hugely edited’. The venue claimed the band had initially refused to leave, and ‘screamed’ at staff.<\/p>\n
Garage Flower’s video, which has been shared with their 10,800 followers on Instagram, has generated a mixed response from fans – with some hailing their reaction, whilst others suggested they needed \u2018humbling\u2019. It has also received more than 300,000 views on TikTok.<\/p>\n

Even Oasis band member Bonehead commented on the video. He wrote: \u201cShow them how it\u2019s done.\u201d Another person commented: \u201cJust keep doing what you do best.\u201d<\/p>\n
But not everyone was so impressed.

Another commented: \u201cSaw you lot in Sheffield and you thought you was the best thing since Oasis. Something needs to humble you lads as your [sic] not all that.\u201d One other posted: “Why did you throw your guitar at the crowd mate?”<\/p>\n

Jason Jennings, the owner of The Bread Shed and the Flour and Flagon pub, told the M.E.N: “The video has been hugely edited to show a specific viewpoint, which does not show the band screaming at staff to the point they walked out upset and were asked to leave by the manager to which they refused and continued to scream expletives.<\/p>\n
“It also doesn’t show the lead singer arguing with the promoter before their set, nor the fact that he threw his guitar twice on stage, the first time causing his sound issues, and the second – in the video – smashing his guitar on the stage barrier, where audience members were stood.<\/p>\n
“Apart from that, Manchester Calling was a fabulous crowd with great promoters. A crowd who spoke with their feet when Garage Flower came on and left to the other venue, so they played to an empty room.”<\/p>\n
Jason added the venue will not be making any further statements regarding the incident.<\/p>\n
