Sour Cherry - The Kills
The headline says it all. According to a recent communique from British duo the Kills via their label, Domino Records, an extensive bus/man hunt is sweeping across the U.S. and Mexico. Here's what the band has to say:
"While on tour in the United States with the Raconteurs, our bus and driver have vanished. It is thought that the driver has commited grand theft auto or that he is in some kind of trouble. The bus and driver were last seen on the morning of the 26th of September at a Prevost dealership in Los Angeles. The driver got some new tires and was set to head to Austin, Texas to meet back up with us. His phone has been off since that afternoon.
Federal investigators and police are searching for the bus and driver through out the U.S. and Mexico. We are currently traveling to Nashville and have no luggage or belongings. But aside from this bad luck, touring with the Raconteurs has been great, so we're in good spirits. The magnitude of the loss hasn't quite sunk in to our shell shocked bones. If anyone has seen a black Prevost tour bus with Tennessee plates 0305 EA, call the police."
A quick glance at the Kills' website confirms it all. "How can 3 tons of black metal vanish into thin air? I'm asking myself the same fucking question. Anyone seen a black ziggys tour bus traveling somewhere between los angeles and austin texas?"
