Poison The Well bestolen!

18-09-09 10:40:00 / door pureandsimple / band: Poison The Well

Poison the Well is bestolen van hun bus, inclusief aanhanger met al hun spullen, ergens in Detroit vlak na hun eerste optreden van de nieuwe tour. De band had er het volgende over te zeggen:

So this morning we woke up at our delightful Marriot Courtyard hotel (Priceline, get into it) and walked outside to get in the van to head to Chicago for our second show of the tour. Only problem, it isn't there. Either someone is pulling some Merlin shit on us and just waiting for the perfect moment to unveil it and calm our shot nerves, or a talented scumbag stole our van and trailer with literally everything we own inside. Needless to say, we're crushed. Our most beloved instruments are gone, and trust me, we're gear nerds.

After a great deal of scrambling and deliberation, we found a way to stay on tour, after a few days off to get some gear and a rental van together. Having something like this happen is the worst thing that can happen to any band short of someone dying, and we're incredibly stoked to finish this tour with Billy Talent and play every night doing what we love.

Our most sincere thanks to everyone who offered to help us in any way, our friends mean the world to us and everyone who has reached out today is absolutely mind blowing. Huge huge ups to Adam, Dave, and Jackie at Yeah!, the entire Ferret Records Family (Carl cause hes got the cash and Rick cause he calls the shots), Issac and the entire Indie Merch and Jakprints family, Tour Dog Leasing and Rental (thanks for driving to detroit to come get us), Jimmy and First Act Guitars, Russel Blair and Orange Amps, Derek at Ernie Ball, Tyme Rogers and Tech 21, Evan Obrien and Korg, Scott Uchida and Jim Dunlop, Jon "Shabba on the spot" Linton, John 'Badge' Chidley. Some of these people have always helped us out and are further making our lives better. Some of these people barely know us and have helped us this with this shit time.

If you want to help out, we'll have a limited edition shirt online sometime soon that makes fun of our situation and is awesome, and all proceeds from that will go to wiping away our tears and some new tumbleweeds for the insides of our wallets.

Ah, dat vind ik zo'n naaistreek. De heideroosjes hadden dat eerst ook al. Echt sneu.

Erg kut voor ze, maar regel nummer 1 op tour is toch dat er iemand in de bus slaapt?

precies.. en t is n goed bewaard geheim dat er zat bands zijn, die eigenlijk te weinig geld hebben op tour en daarom dit soort jankverhalen gaan ophangen om scenefags geld af te troggelen.

Dan toch maar 2 tall bikes aan elkaar lassen met een platformpje er tussen dat ziet er zo herkenbaar uit dat word nooit gestolen.
