Had a show, we rocked, got robbed.
Played a show with a touring band, we all were under the impression we could trust them since all the bands at the show were part of, or had members who were apart of the Pyrate Punx (a worldwide organization that helps bands book shows, find places to stay, food, beer, anything else with a DIY, no sponsorship attitude)
We are all broke punk rockers and can hardly afford equipment....
Never had a problem with a Pyrate Punx band before...
Lovesongs from the Hated were cool, they appreciated our help but then this happened:
These guys took the money we raised for them, without taking any for ourselves, they took our help, then preceded to destroy several people's equipment. They tried to fuse wires together using a lighter from several other band's guitar chords....to make a microphone..... Then stole my bass strings....even though they do not have a bassist...
Then, because they destroyed their guitar chord along with the others...stole our guitar chord and left.
This just pissed me off, they were talking about unity and how cool it is that all the bands in our area look after each other and how happy they were that we treated them like family.
My band and one other were due to finish a full length split album this week...now we have to spend the money that we were going to use to master the tracks on new equipment.
Just pissed off today!
