Comments posted on a Facebook page left a sour note with a local band.
The CoCoBeanOs and lead singer Scott Gast filed a lawsuit against people who left messages they say defamed the band and its singer on Facebook, a popular social networking website.
The messages were posted on a Facebook page called “CoCoBeanOs Hate Club,” along with comments and photo illustrations Gast said are defamatory.

If they aren't going to grow a pair, maybe they should change the name of the band to the Coo Coo Beans and learn the words to "Big Girls Don't Cry", but get some advice from Weird Al and change the words to "Big Girls Do Cry"!

Apparently playing bar mitzvahs and Little Johnny's 8th birthday partys is a lucrative gig if they can afford to sue anybody who thinks they suck. What happens the next time the clown shows up and all the kids stop paying attention to the band... will they have the whole 4th grade served? Sounds kind of pathetic... and a HUGE WASTE OF TAXPAYERS MONEY!
BTW, is that a Melissa Etheridge lookalike singing in the photo?

Who is the attorney that took the case? Was it some nekid attorney? If I go on stage and play my accordian and people think that I am no good then why should I care? I could whine and cry if nobody likes my music and sue and make some money?

really? i mean reeeeally? this band needs to stop being babies and just. what is defamatory about being honest in a public forum? you cant expect everyone to like your band. this is especially if you cover songs badly. why is this still going on the page doesn't exist any more? lastly, to scott, please stop sending invitations on facebook to cocobeanos at the pump. no one ever is going to go except your girlthing. and please clean up every utility pole in the tri county area from the cocobeanos playing cabana jacks last november. it is getting annoying. i hope the police start fining you. you will probably sue them too. k thnx bye.

Boo-freaking-hoo. Your band sucks, most of the comments I saw were pretty mundane. You're just pissed people are using their first amendment rights to state their displeasure with your bland band. I know of car stereos that are more entertaining. Stop this frivilous lawsuit before you REALLY turn people against you. Grown men crying over facebook is pitiful.

in reality if your gonna put yourself in the public eye there are gonna be people who dont like you. if your that sensitive and emotional you should just sit home and play nintendo. i was a member of the cocobeanos hate club and personally i didnt find anything defamatory. the coco beanos better hope this dont blow up in their face and cost them their local celebrity status... And to scott.... grow a set... be a man quit crying cause the hate club had more fans than the actual cocobeanos site

Tons of things are said on a daily basis that are negative towards people, places and things. My advice would be to these "boys" would be that if they are going to be in the public eye, they need to get a tougher skin and learn ways deal with criticism and scrutiny. Not everyone will care for you or what you do, and there is no point in trying to please everyone.
