Turnstile Open Coachella With Singer’s Father on Screen After Ex-Guitarist’s Arrest

The gesture underscored the band’s support for Brendan Yates’ recovering father.

Overview

  • Turnstile began their Coachella set Friday with a pre-recorded message from Bill Yates, who thanked fans and described the band’s rise from basement rehearsals to larger stages.
  • Former guitarist Brady Ebert remains jailed without bond on charges of attempted second-degree murder and first-degree assault after the alleged car attack on the 79-year-old.
  • Bill Yates underwent surgery and is recovering, according to the band, which previously expressed hope for the best possible outcome in his recovery.
  • Ebert told a court commissioner he acted in pure self-defense and said CCTV would support him, a claim that conflicts with police reports and family statements.
  • The professional fallout widened as the hardcore project Experience confirmed Sunday that Ebert is no longer in the group and that they will proceed with their planned June EP release.
