From Tony Kiss’ article: The LAB’s co-owner Mike Healy was not amused. Almost four dozen employees are out of work while a massive cleaning is underway, he said. “They have kids, groceries and bills, and now they are out of work for several days,” he said of his employees. “I will do everything that I can to compensate them.” But he would not discuss any legal action against the band or Asheville’s Empire Tattoo parlor, which booked the show, and could not be reached for comment. The restaurant-brewery is a popular downtown destination and regularly offers music in the back listening room, where the splatter happened. “There was nothing in their rider (agreement with LAB) about what was going to occur,” Healy said. “After the incident, they took all their equipment and wiped it down and left the place a disaster zone. Our staff was there until 2 or 3 in the morning cleaning and the next day.” The Servepro company has been contracted to clean up the spill, he said. “There was so much (blood spilled), that we might have to rip out out the stage,” Healy said. “It’s a very dire situation.”
