The frat bros behind The Chainsmokers' ASU gig -- yeah, the one cops rolled up on this past weekend -- are telling TMZ it was chaos from the jump ... 'cause even getting the bash up and running was a manic last-minute scramble.
The president of ASU's Phi Gamma Delta -- AKA FIJI -- chapter and fellow board members tell TMZ the first house they locked in for the gig straight-up failed, thanks to a plumbing disaster that flooded the yard days before ... so they had to haul all the gear out and pivot fast.

They tell us it was so last-minute, the event wasn’t even officially confirmed until 16 hours out -- and to top it off, cops were already on the scene before the party had even started.

While Boone sang “I sometimes wish I’d never been born at all,” he brought out the cutout of May ... all while a real guitarist played the famous solo -- though Boone pretended like it really was May shredding.
