Punk Band The Story So Far Banned For Kicking Woman Off Stage

As the female fan was on stage, with her back to the band taking a picture of the crowd, the lead singer kung-fu kicked her lower back, hurling her towards the audience.

Shocking footage has emerged of a young woman being brutally kicked in the back at the concert of American punk band The Story So Far.

The incident happened at Toronto's Mod Club earlier this week. As a female fan climbed on to the stage to take a photo of the exuberant crowd, she had her back to the group. As she stood clicking, frontman Parker Cannon ran up behind her and drop-kicked her, sending her flailing helplessly towards the audience.

The Mod Club have released a statement that the punk act are no longer welcome to perform at the Canadian venue.

"On behalf of the venue we are appalled by the actions of the singer and do not condone these actions by anyone," Mod Club general manager Jorge Dias said in a statement given to Billboard. "There was no report of injuries and the venue will not allow the band to play the venue again for their actions. I have never imagined and never seen anything like that at the venue in 14 years in operation. That was a very cowardly act."
