Turnstile Open Coachella Set With Video From Brendan Yates’ Father

The message signaled a public acknowledgment of the alleged attack with court proceedings still pending.

Overview

  • Turnstile opened Friday’s Coachella set with a pre-recorded video from Bill Yates, the father of singer Brendan Yates.
  • Former guitarist Brady Ebert is being held on charges of attempted second-degree murder and first-degree assault after police say he struck Bill Yates with a car.
  • NME, citing The Baltimore Banner, reported that Ebert allegedly left and returned to the Yates home before the collision and later told Bill Yates he “deserved it.”
  • Ebert told a district court commissioner he acted in self-defense and said CCTV footage would contradict police accounts.
  • Turnstile said the incident caused severe physical trauma and that Bill Yates had surgery and is recovering, while related projects distanced or diverged, with The S.E.T removing Ebert and Experience keeping his recorded parts on a planned EP.
