Times New Viking robbed at London's Stag & Dagger festival

- Times New Viking »
Ohio drone-noise garage trio Times New Viking have had a load of their money nicked, leaving the band having to resort to budget grub and dodgy two-quid roadmaps from Tesco.
Their van was broken into last night in London, where they played at the Stag & Dagger festival. Also on the move, illegally: their sat-nav.
Say our friends at Matador, the band's label, of the incident:
"The band's van was parked behind The Old Blue Last after a show as part of the Stag & Dagger festival. We commiserated with Old Street kebabs at 3am.
"Obviously, if anyone saw anything please get in touch."
Drop DiS a line if you've any leads - comment below or contact one of our senior writers - or any spare sat-nav units cluttering up your cupboards. Times New Viking play Brighton's Great Escape Festival tonight and tomorrow, where they'll be found at DiS's stage at Digital, right on the beach.

people
are
shit
could they not afford
a wheel clamp-lock? For a five it might've been worth it.
That is rubbish
I bet they had some really cool equipment too.
i don't think
the van is gone, is it?
We had a sat nav stolen from our van
a few weeks ago, in roughly the same area. I bet there's a guy walking around with loads of them, smug as fuck that he can get directions to anywhere he likes.
doesn't sound like it
people should learn to read...
that street
behind the OBL is dodgy as fuck.
Which one?
Curtain Road or the one with the gay sauna?
...
Knowing him, the latter.
^ hee hee
bad news though.
tee-hee
.
rubbish!
are they insured? i'd never leave a satnav on show.
obl
what a shit hole.
poor guys. i hope london is looking after them.
also, lovvers playing before george pringle? psshhhht.
The Viking
play Liverpool Korova tomorrow...9pm get on it!
.
Centuries of Anglo-Saxon hurt, healed in one swift act of revenge.
NOW YOU ARE PILLAGED!
