MTV Live television debut

Several other records, such as Year of the Dog 12-inch were released, before the band went on the European tour, visiting England, Germany, and Spain, among other places. January 16, 2007, marked the band’s live television debut on MTV Live , where they were introduced as “Effed Up”. During their performance of their song “Baiting the Public”, the majority of the audience were moshing and causing damage to the set (also visible was a cut on Damian’s forehead), resulting in a sum of $2,000 in damages. This performance sparked controversy and resulted in MTV Canada banning moshing from future MTV Live performances. In November 2007, the band played a show in New York that was filmed for the movie Burn , directed by Richard Roepnack. The performance was positively reviewed in The New York Times , although the Times chose not to print the band’s name, referring to them instead as a string of asterisks.
