POST UPDATE May 4th:
“sorry long post
Amazing Singaporean emo/math band FORESTS are currently touring across USA:
Yet after a handful of shows, the band has reported that their van was broken into the asshole ran off with some priceless equipment and cash. The band has launched a gofundme so please help if you can. It’s not easy for bands from Asia to gather up the funds to then tour in the US, so to have this happen is pretty discouraging. However, in true FORESTS style, they always handle adversity with humor. Their response has been “Well, we are certainly getting the full US tour experience! Aside from this, it’s been amazing so far!”
Here’s what took place:
“We have done Seattle, Portland and Oakland so far. In Oakland yesterday we got our van broken into. We woke up in the morning to find some gear missing when we were loading up our bags in the van. Only realized after loading up that there was still a lot of space and it turns 2 basses, 1 guitar, and Ben Quad’s money box were all taken. We made a police report and contacted all the nearby pawn shops, just gotta wait and see how it plays out now!
We are currently on our way to LA, will hit up a music shop or something first before going to the venue tonight.”

Very cool to see some fellow Asian extreme musicheads who live out here in the west (United Kingdom to be precise) also continuing to actually play music instead of...
