If you’re playing with a thrash band, it’s actually okay for the drummer to throw broken sticks at (not to) the audience. At the same time, no matter the genre, it’s probably inappropriate to stage dive at a wake.
Unless your GG Allin.
I'm afraid I'm gonna have to go with a hard and well-defined rule on that one.
"Do not stage dive at a wake. Even an Irish wake."
I've played an Irish wake. I lived in Cambridge (right across the river and usually considered "Boston" unless you're a snob).
Stage diving might have been the only thing that was too far.
I think we played like one set and then we had people going home to get their instruments, random people on the stage, no more "sets" - just a mishmash of music, and I'm not sure if it was exactly the next morning when we all left or if we left a day after that. I've asked and none of us are sure.
