Sophia Urista: Brass Against Apologize For Her Urinating On Fan’s Face During Festival Set: “Sophia Got Carried Away”

Band apologizes after lead singer pees on fan

The shocking incident occurred as singer Sophia Urista covered a RATM song at Welcome to Rockville
So much for social distancing! During Brass Against’s performance at the Welcome to Rockville festival last night (November 11th), lead singer Sophia Urista urinated on a fan’s face — all while the band covered Rage Against the Machine’s “Wake Up.”
Brass Against are known for their unique covers of songs by bands like RATM and Tool — in fact they’re supporting Tool’s European tour in 2022 — but of all the acts at a major rock and metal fest to pull off this stunt, they wouldn’t be on top of the list.

The very NSFW video shows Urista summon a male fan with a camera mounted to his head onto the stage. She then tells him to lay down as she pulls down her pants and pees directly into his face, all while continuing to cover the RATM classic. At the end, the fan gets up and spits the urine into the audience.
In addition to the thousands of concertgoers at the Welcome to Rockville fest in Daytona Beach, Florida, the incident was also briefly witnessed by fans all over the world watching on a Twitch livestream, which was immediately cut short. It was also broadcast on the giant video screens on either side of the stage.
The whole scene brings to mind late shock-punker GG Allin, who was known for his disturbing antics onstage, often involving urine and fecal matter. However, Brass Against seem to be regretting the incident, as they are apologizing on Twitter, writing, “We’re truly sorry. Not who we are as a band,” and “We’re still processing.. this was profoundly unexpected.”

Brass Against Apologize For Singer Urinating On Fan’s Face During Festival Set: “Sophia Got Carried Away”
Brass Against are a musical collective that mostly performs brass-band covers of artists like Tool, Soundgarden, and Black Sabbath. And on Thursday night, their lead singer peed directly onto a fan’s face in the middle of their set at the Welcome To Rockville festival in Daytona Beach, Florida. No press is bad press, I guess?

Sophia Urista unloads on fan’s face during live show

Singer Sophia Urista — whose last name is already dangerously close to “urine” — apparently mentioned having to pee several times during the set, then secured a volunteer to be her toilet. “Get my man with the can on his head ready, ’cause we’re going to bring him onstage and I’ma piss in this motherfucker’s mouth,” she said while Brass Against covered Rage Against The Machine.
“I gotta pee,” she continued. “And I can’t make it to the bathroom. So we might as well make a show out of it.” The willing participant from the audience, an old biker-lookin’ dude with a beer can stuck to his forehead, climbed onto the stage and laid down. True to her word, Urista dropped trou and pissed all over him while continuing to sing Rage Against The Machine’s “Wake Up.”
“We’re still processing… this was profoundly unexpected,” Brass Against tweeted after the show. “We had a great time last night at Welcome To Rockville. Sophia got carried away,” the band added in another tweet. “That’s not something the rest of us expected, and it’s not something you’ll see again at our shows. Thanks for bringing it last night, Daytona.”
In a since-deleted apology on Twitter, they also wrote, “We’re truly sorry. Not who we are as a band.” You can watch graphic video footage of the incident — Brass Against’s pee tape, if you will — below, if that’s what you’re into. (No judgment here.) Brass Against are opening for Tool on their European tour next year.

We had a great time last night at Welcome to Rockville. Sophia got carried away. That’s not something the rest of us expected, and it’s not something you’ll see again at our shows. Thanks for bringing it last night, Daytona.

Things that could have happened other than peeing/assaulting someone:
1. Stop the set, use the potty
2. Pull a Fergie
3. Held it for another 15 mins
