This rave review didn't work out so well. A mob of ravers got so crazed at the premiere of a rave concert documentary that Los Angeles cops had to shut down the movie premiere—and part of Hollywood Boulevard. Thousands turned out at Grauman's Chinese Theater last night for the showing of the Electric Daisy Carnival Experience. As the crowd grew boisterous, cops told people to disperse. Angry ravers began hurling rocks and bottles and torched a cop cruiser, reports AP.
"All resources are there, including officers in riot gear, horses. We're using what we need to take care of the situation," said a police spokesman. The film features a concert experience of fans "doing ecstasy and wearing as few clothes as possible," according to inside dope gleaned by Gawker. LA issued a brief moratorium on raves last year after a 15-year-old girl died of a drug overdose while attending a local electronic music festival. (More raves stories.)
