Torche's van window smashed, one show cancelled
by Black Bubblegum
"I gotta get an alarm system for this fuckin thing" - Steve (Torche)
Torche at SXSW 2008 (Priya of the Beige House)
Some NE-anderthals broke into Torche's van and as a result, Dade County's finest will not be able to make their scheduled appearance at Downtown Music Hall in Little Rock in order to get the hooptie fixed.
"Due to lowlife motherf*ckers breaking into our van, we have to cancel our show in Little Rock, AR tomorrow May 7. Stinking Lizaveta may still be playing though. Sorry for any inconvenience"Luckily, no gear was stolen and only windows were smashed.
Torche's Meanderthal came out early last month. They are playing with The Sword at MHOW and with Boris at Webster Hall.

They're cancelling a gig because their van's windows got broken? Pathetic. What would Black Flag have done?

Kinda hard to drive a vanful of gear with no windows. The shit keeps falling out.

That window meant a lot to them. Although I did hear that they did it themselves, at least by mistake. One of the band members saw their own reflection and thought he was being mocked. So he punched his reflection in the face and broke the window. Ouch! When he realized what had happened he felt terrible. So much so that the show had to be cancelled.
Touching and Tragic.

Being a musician his ears are quite sensitive and the high pitch shrill of car alarms disturbs his auditory sensibilities. I have seen him cower to the near silent sound of a dog whistle. It was incredible.. he was writhing and moaning in pain until I stopped.
