I think the main Japanther thing was a show with Monotract in Miami, the soundguy liked to blast white noise in a band's monitors as a joke, which is an asshole move but also kind of funny. But Japanther didn't think so and thought Monotract were behind it and threatened Roger and Nancy with knuckle dusters and a knife! (Which is extra funny seeing your example of them also blaming a band for something the venue did). I heard that being Miami, they were also in an agitated state because they'd been "skiing" on "mount cocaine". I shared this story on a Baltimore music scene message board and fans of their later work accused me of "slander" ha ha.

I love these stories reminds me of the part in the occasional Detroit piece about “ bands you had to watch out for” lol. Especially the detail about “skiing on mount cocaine” which the first time I read it, i mistook for a specific kind of cocaine.
