SLUSHIE Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 Looking at the genre thread I saw that many people on here are Ska and punk fans. Many of you probably haven't heard of Streetlight Manifesto, but I thought I would share this anyway. http://www.streetlightmanifesto.com/ I'm not posting this to get people to donate or anything, just to inform people about them. Maybe you guys will like their music and support them in the future. Check out their free downloadable song.
nyanko Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 Holy crap that sucks. I've seen them live twice, and they always put on a good show. I've bought their shirts and CDs in the past, I don't even know how else I could help! They headlined the Ska Is Dead tour on the east coast back in late spring/early summer.
Erik Johnson Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 It figures that they were robbed in Jacksonville Florida...it looks like they were by the date. I have to go to Jacksonville several times a month, I just hate that city!!!
coasterguy618 Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 Wow, they are a really good band, and i really like them. That really sucks.
robbalvey Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 upon waking up this morning, we walked out into the hotel parking lot to find our van had been broken into and our trailer taken. the pieces of human shit behind this broke the lock off of the driver's side door, entered our tour van, and picked it clean of all of our possessions. they then managed to jimmy the vehicle into neutral, push it forward about twenty feet, break the lock off of our hitch and attach our trailer to their vehicle. then they drove away. all of this happened in the hotel parking lot, just yards away from where we slept. besides the priceless personal possessions we lost from the van, everything that enables us to be a band was contained in that trailer. all of our horns, guitars, drums, amps, microphones, rack gear, mic stands, every last bit of merchandise and cds, every sticker, patch , button with our logo on them, our banner, EVERYTHING. in all, we were robbed of approximately 80 thousand dollars worth of gear, merch and personal possessions. I have to be honest...and while this really...REALLY sucks for them and it pisses me off that people would do this..... Doesn't it seem a little stupid that if you have $80k worth of stuff and "everything that enables them to be a band" in that truck that they'd have a little better security? Like maybe an alarm? I mean, here's a couple of perfectly good alarm system for such a trailer used for touring bands, racing equipment, boats, etc: http://www.protecsystemone.com/ http://www.bikebone.com/page/BBSC/PROD/Trailer-Alarm/TD-5000 If you're going to have $80k worth of stuff, how about one of these $500 alarm system? Or better yet...BOTH of them! They might be a really kick ass band and all...and I really hope they pull it all back together, but if you're trusting your entire business' safety to a couple of locks....hmm...not too smart! --Robb "I don't even leave my PSP in the car overnight!"

Wes Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 The same thing happened to the Decemberists in March.
