I was unable to attend Ulcerate's New York show this weekend due to some prior commitments, but by all accounts from friends who went, it was an intense show. Sadly, that's not what this post is about… this post is about how after the NYC show, while Ulcerate were all tucked in and sleeping, the band's van got robbed on the mean streets of NYC. From their Facebook page:
We had our van broken into in New York last night at our accom. We've lost all our guitar gear (preamps, effects units), some drum equipment, stage banner and all of Svart Crown's merch was also ripped off. We're going to keep going but this is a fucking terrible start. We had phenomenal shows in Philadelphia and NYC last night so this is an absolute kick in the fucking teeth.
Damn it, fellow New Yorkers… why must you give us a bad name with the foreigners? The band, thankfully, have arranged to borrow gear for the rest of their tour, to be able to fulfill their remaining dates leading up to Maryland Deathfest this weekend. While the band isn't exactly asking for donations, if you can help at all, send a buck or two their way via Paypal, to ulcerate [at] gmail.com or buy some of their merch.
