Los Angeles’ Drive Awere the victims of a bizarre bus break-in earlier this week in downtown Chicago, while on a break from their run on the Rock Allegiance Tour with Buckcherry, Papa Roach, Puddle of Mud, P.O.D., Red and Crossfade.
This past Tuesday night, as band members and crew slept on their bus while parked in an underground garage located in an area frequented by transients, an unidentified person entered the vehicle and made off with money, food, booze, clothing and an iPod, while leaving their gear untouched.
The band is taking it in stride, as front Bruno Mascolo explains, “I guess to make it in music these days you have to fully commit yourself, even if it means your home away from home being raided by homeless people on occasion. That being said, the next homeless person that asks us for change, we will be checking his pocket for our ipod. I'm just glad everyone is okay.”
So what can you do about it?
Well how about supporting their tour and buying their merch? Yeah, sounds good. This old school punk band who gotta bitta Green Day to them really deserve support. It's hard to imagine these 'rockstars' actually sleeping in a parking garage but it sorta goes to show you, this is a rough business. Support your heroes, they need you.
