I've been hyping up the Metal Injection Presented Withered & Immortal Bird tour for some time now. I know the bands have been itching to get on the road as well, as the duo truly make up a unique package everyone should see. Unfortunately, after their amazing show in Brooklyn, NY last night, the band's van was stolen, along with all of their equipment and merch.
This is absolutely devastating for any band! Immortal Bird are also some of the nicest folks ever, who breathe the spirit of DIY metal, so this is the shittiest thing I've heard all week.
Please, help Immortal Bird get back on their feet by visiting the Go Fund Me page, to make a contribution. You can also help by visiting their Bandcamp page and buy their awesome digital album!
The following is a statement that can be found on the band's facebook page, describing the incident.
This is a post we never wanted to make. This afternoon when we headed to our van we discovered it was missing. No broken glass, great neighborhood, everything was locked up and hidden away. We hoped it had been towed, but that wasn't the case. The NYPD found a video of our van blowing through the Verrazano Narrows Bridge toll at 6 AM. We parked at 3 AM. It has been stolen, and we think we were probably targeted and followed from Saint Vitus. We have filed a report and will regrettably have to miss our Boston show tonight. We are determined to keep the tour with WITHERED going but we have to figure out how. All of our gear and every bit of our merch was in the van. This is absolutely devastating and completely shocking. As we have no merch, all we have is our digital music on Bandcamp. Our PayPal is [email protected] as well.
In the meantime, NY/NJ area please keep an eye out for a black 2006 Ford E350 with Illinois plates.
