I feel mean making a pun out of that headline when something nasty has happened to them, but I couldn't help it because I'm a bad, bad person. Arab Strap have had $6000 dollars cash stolen from them whilst on their US tour. The band and crew were apparently in a restaurant at the weekend when the cash was stolen from a bag.
Tour manager Teresa Murray said: "The band and I were at Nick's Roast Beef Restaurant and I forgot my purse at the table and when I returned to the restaurant, all the money was gone." Transdreamer Records' Sally Pye added: "It's a sad day when these things happen. It's so difficult for bands to tour these days and it's literally all of the money for the tour. Hopefully, we will find the thief."
