Slaves has spoken out against the alleged groping of a female fan at their recent Brixton gig, saying that the incident 'makes them feel sick'.
The Are You Satisfied duo have been outspoken supporters of the Girls Against Campaign - which calls to tackle the groping and mistreatment of female fans at music gigs and festivals.
Now, the band have responded to messages from two fans at their Brixton gig - one who said "we wanted to let you know these things happen at your gigs because we know that like us, you wouldn't stand for it", and another who thanked 'a bunch of lads' for helping his daughter.
Taking to Facebook, Slaves replied: "Two sides to the story. Thanks to our fans who have respect. The others make me feel sick. If you witness anything like this at our show take a stand and look after your fellow humans. How would you feel if that happened to your mother, sister or daughter? Un acceptable. If you saw this happen at Brixton please speak up."
