Diarrhea Planet killed it at the Broadberry last night

Last night I watched a man easily above 200 lbs crowd surf at the Broadberry.

Last night I watched a man easily above 200 lbs crowd surf at the Broadberry. It’s this kind of energy, and ability to wind up a crowd, that Nashville, TN’s Diarrhea Planet is known for.

Since 2009, Diarrhea Planet has been raising eye brows with their band’s name, and raising crowd’s fists at shows, around the country.

Last night’s Broadberry set wasn’t the first time the 6 members (1 drummer, 1 bassist, 4 guitars) had graced a Richmond stage, and the crowd was abuzz with stories of what was to come – mosh pits and crowd surfing off stage, and hilarious shredding with back-to-back solos on stage.
