Nick LucchesiUPDATE: The video has been taken down. Bummer!
Infest played the Echo last night. It was the legendary powerviolence band's first concert in 16 years, and this ridiculous fight outside the venue beforehand served as quite a pre-show. The video is was below; it's worthy of WorldStarHipHop, as by-standers remind everyone.

“The girls had already paid, but were kicked out for whatever reason,” says concertgoer Zack Reese, who witnessed the fight in person. “It was more funny than anything watching these girls trying to get sympathy from the crowd, in the way that they kept yelling 'assault' and other things.
“They straight-up yelled 'stop hitting me' when all security was doing was defending themselves.”
As for the Infest reunion? “They were legitimately great,” continues Reese. “No stupid in between-song banter about 'the old days' or anything corny like that.”
Video from the show is below, and you can see more at Brooklyn Vegan.
