A few weeks ago, we hung out with Cerebral Bore, and Noa interviewed them. After the interview, Som was dying for a milk shake, so being the educated New Yorker I am, I brought them to the milk shake Mecca, the Shake Shack. Turns out that wasn't the only Big Apple hospitality the band got. At the tail end of the tour, the band again found themselves in New York, except this time, they got arrested… for just walking into a drug store.
After some late night partying, guitarist Paul McGuire and bassist Kyle Rutherford went to a drug store. They walked right in, since the doors were open and lights were one but turns out the store had yet to officially open. They start to leave and the next thing they know, NYPD squad cars surrounded them and they were thrown to the ground by police officers and arrested at gunpoint. They were charged with criminal trespass, petit larceny, burglary and criminal possession of stolen property. ALL FOR JUST ENTERING A DUANE READE!
Apparently, there was a drug store murderer on the loose and the cops assumed it was these two guys. Eventually, the perp was found and the band members were released but not after spending 36 hours in our fine penitentiary system getting transferred and harassed by other inmates. Only in New York! I guess these guys should be excited that they got the full NY experience. Here is the band re-telling the tale in a video update:
