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.
Toronto's Cursed have abruptly broken up. The band, who recently released their third full length, III, were robbed of their equipment, money and passports while on tour in Europe. According to the band's blog, it was the nail in the coffin. Cursed formed in 2001 and released three albums and two EPs.

wow that really sucks I knew they were robbed but not that it was the sweat chin music. I know some folks'll be pissed.

I usually feel little sympathy reading breakup stories... generally they're all due to someones over inflated ego. However, this one really sucks. Hard to imagine how rough all of the "what if" reflections will be for these guys for a while.

Awesome, this just ruined my fucking week. I'm glad I got to see them play atleast once. Unfortunately when I saw them I didn't know their music at all and couldn't fully appreciate it. God fucking dammit!

Not sure why this band ever got much attention to begin with. Crappy garage rock. 6+ Replies

I just saw these guys play 2 months ago and they were amazing. Good guys too.

Love this band and all their records. But, can't help but think if they weren't so "DIY" and had used a real, legit booking company, this probably wouldn't have happened.
