Cursed have been robbed (tour money, passports). Click below for the news from the band...
"Yeah, you heard. Apparently, it gets even worse. That's all I know or
even want to know for now. We got robbed at the very end of tour in a
totally unreal, extremely sketchy series of events that still makes no
sense at all, only leads to paranoia, anger and a total loss of faith.
Passports, money, all the costs of the tour. Either way, whoever did
it, it was a bullet in the head, the end of the line. A sudden and
totally fucked up way for it to end, which I know will be fitting when
I look back on it. All we could do was play the show, badly, and go our
ways with whatever money we could muster. I hitched a ride back to
Prague with Tomas. Since I can't do a fucking thing about it, I'm going
to hang out with my girl, and friends, stare at some Czech mountains
and try not to think about it. Needless to say, all outstanding plans
are off. All this shit aside, thanks to everyone that helped out and
travelled from all over for the shows on this tour, all the kids and
bands we played and stayed with. Minus a few fucked up shows, it was
probably the best tour we ever had. Thanks everyone for your good
wishes. I'll elaborate when I'm home next week, for now - yes it's
true, and yes it's over."

...and from Reflections Records:
"As news travels fast most of you should have heard by now that Cursed,
on their 2nd to last show of their European tour, got robbed from all
their tour-money. Money they needed tp pay their van, their
plane-tickets and their merch. Apperently someone, in a squat in
Mullheim, Germany, got his way into a locked room and stole the bag
that had the money, being over 8000 Euro’s, passports and some personal
belongings, leaving the band not only with debts but most and for all a
feeling of total despair. The band played, as what to appears, their
last show the day after in Amsterdam, Holland....
We, as their European label, have never ever asked anyone to help out
financially, and even though we have lost a fair amount of money as
well, won’t do that now either. What we however are not afraid to do,
is ask to help out Cursed. And although, Chris Colohan, the singer and
spokesman of the band is very clear on their website
yourfuckingfuneralblogspot.com about the (non excisting) future of
Cursed, we feel we should do whatever we can to at least try and give
them back a sense of hope and faith in the hardcore and punk community.
If you have a a few bucks, or maybe even a good amount, you can go to http://www.myspace.com/burninglovers This is Chris’ other band and on their myspace is a Donate button.
We also have leftover merch for sale in our online-store, we have their
new album available. And some other goodies…. We would kindly ask you
to pick up something from this incredible band and in that way help
them out.
We’ve heard some plans from people doing benefit shows and what-not,
but nothing is certain yet. Hopefully ‘our’ community, something we
still believe in, can come up with something and really show that
hardcore is for the kids, and BY the kids.
If anyone has suggestions or can help out (REALLY help out... Right
now, words on the internet, no matter how well ment, don’t mean much….)
please get in touch!

on the [plus side, maybe Colohan might finally finish his book]
