Moments ago, Lambgoat reported that Albany metalcore act, and one of our 10 underground bands you need in your life, Aminal got robbed in St. Louis after leaving the van unattended for 30 minutes. The band lost their personal belongings, laptops… everything, and they are accepting any contributions here.
It made me think: wait, didn't some other band get robbed in St. Louis recently? And, because I was on Lambgoat, I did a quick search and came upon at least 10 results:
- Animal robbed in St. Louis
- Hollow Earth, Of Feather & Bone robbed in St Louis
- Traitors robbed in St. Louis; blame promoter
- For The Fallen Dreams robbed in St. Louis
- Rivers Of Nihil robbed in St. Louis
- Jeff Loomis robbed in St. Louis
- Yautja robbed in St. Louis
- Eyehategod robbed in St. Louis
- The Locust robbed in St. Louis
- It's not just metal bands getting robbed in St. Louis
So what's the lesson here? If you are absolutely insistent on playing a show St. Louis, it is of utmost importance that you never leave the van unattended for any period of time, unless all your valuables are not in the van, otherwise the chances of you getting robbed are very likely!
Thank you for listening.
