A popular up and coming indie-band's lead singer had been accused of rape in our city. Not sure how far her case went and not sure if she went to the authorities but she got a lot of flack immediately simply because the band was so so so popular in the SF scene. SF's music scene was pretty tight back then so mostly only musicians and music folk knew about this. I had heard the guy was kinda crazy anyway and I thought I always hated the band though they were HUGE in San Francisco and always wondered if he did it. He got off scotch free but I feel like a lot of it had to do with his band's die-hard fans. Now, I see Modest Mouse is on SPIN magazine but I always wonder what really happened.
