As if they weren’t bummed out before…
Arab Strap bummed
This is what they look like when terribly lame shit isn’t happening to the band….

Seriously, can somebody quit casting that voodoo shit on the Arab Strap? Maybe they pissed off a warlock or some garbage…

You may remember last month when we posted about their tour support, A Whisper in the Noise, getting beat up and robbed (refresh your memory here), but now the Arab Strap themselves just got taken for 6,000 bucks. Not an easy pill to swallow for a band on tour. What’s next, Aidan Moffat overdosing?

Arab Strap Robbed In Philadelphia On Tour

New York, NY — April 11, 2006 — On the second leg of the tour, Arab Strap were robbed of their money on Sunday night, April 9, in Philadelphia.

Arab Strap and their crew were at a restuarant and approximately $6,000 cash was allegedly stolen out of their bag between the hours of approximately 8pm and 10:25pm. Tour manager Teresa Murray said, “The band and I were at Nick’s Roast Beef Restaurant (located at 16 South 2nd Street) and I forgot my purse at the table and when I returned to the restaurant, all the money was gone.” Police dusted the scene for fingerprints and removed all video surveilence cameras in the bar. Everyone is cooperating and no arrests have been made at this point.

Transdreamer Records’ Sally Pye comments: “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.”

This is the second incident of a criminal act on the Arab Strap tour. On March 28, 2006 in Seattle, supporting band A Whisper In The Noise was attacked at knifepoint in an attempted robbery resulting in the tour manager’s front teeth being knocked out.

If anyone has any information regarding this recent theft, please call the Philadelphia police department at 215-686-3093 or 3094. The band’s tour continues in Chapel Hill NC tonight, April 11.”
