That’s the price you pay for such aggressive Grand Slam-dancing.
A Denny’s restaurant in Santa Ana, Calif. was reportedly damaged on Saturday night after the management allowed a hardcore punk band from Long Beach to play a show in the dining room. Denny's, meanwhile, has since confirmed to Fox News that while the management gave permission for an event, they were "unaware a concert was planned."

“If you broke s--- on purpose you suck but at least you and any1 who has a heart for what this kid pulled off should donate some money to his a--,” the band wrote.
The friend who arranged the show, identified as Bryson, had also reportedly remarked that the damages could total “more than a grand easily,” according to the Instagram announcement.

In footage from Saturday night, Wacko's fans could be seen moshing and attempting to crowdsurf in the dining area. Another fan also shared a video that appeared to show fans who couldn't get into the venue but watched through the large, airy windows of the Santa Ana Denny's.
A representative for Denny’s has since confirmed that the staff didn't know a concert had been planned for the location.

"The manager was unaware a concert was planned, and the event organizers have been asked to pay for damages."

As odd as this incident was, however, it wouldn't be the first time a rock concert was staged inside a Denny's. In 2013, a hardcore band famously played a show inside their local Denny's and went viral, largely because the lead singer asked, "What the f--- is up, Denny's?" before launching into a song.
