_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Again, thank you all for the money you donated to help the band and our crew replace their clothing/personal belongings, cancelled shows, stolen merch money, etc. Video Director Thomas Smith took it one step further and filmed this incredible video for the APTBS remix of Holy Fuck's Red Lights. It debuted on Pitchfork's Music Blog, Altered Zones on Friday and has since gone completely viral. Thanks Thomas! You can watch it here:

http://alteredzones.com/posts/733/holy-fuck-red-lights-place-bury-strangers-remix/

My final word on this is that I find it incredibly sad that our driver Goz was put out of business by this theft. Goz, thank you for three years of being our driver, tour manager and most importantly our friend and tour guide. We will miss you deeply!
