Sting Kids: Locust get robbed, ask for charity

by Kev Kharas [Edit this content] ▾ 11 comments 18:17 November 28th, 2007

Help the Locust! A fund’s been set up to help the band after thieves broke into their van and stole a Christmas list’s worth of stuff:

Laptops…
iPods…
Cash…
Meds…
Toiletries…
Phone Chargers…

…etc. Click here to donate whatever you can.

“Anyone catching them on the remaining tour dates, please help them out however you can,” urges LA venue the Smell. “Buy some shit, give them some fucking deodorant, or a hug, or something. This sucks so bad...they are the last people who deserve this.”

if they wanted their equipment replaced, then fair enough.

well thought out reply there.

i'm pretty sure equipment and touring money will be higher up their list of what to get back, but you tend to list everything that got stolen when people ask what was stolen from you.

they don't mention that a single bit of equipment was stolen.

go to their website and prove me wrong, if you'd like.
so, asking for money for their expensive gadget habits is just a little beyond what i'd call the call and duty of a music fan.

People be hating The Locust. They think they've brought about 'ironic grind'. I'm not one of those people.

Also, if you're writing a book, best to keep a back-up copy of it that isn't on your laptop.
