Sports Team have been robbed at gunpoint moments into beginning a tour in the United States.
The UK outfit shared footage on Instagram of their tour vehicle being looted in a gas station parking lot as a voice urges witnesses to stay inside for their safety.
Sports Team are set to play six shows on the West Coast this month, making stops in Sacramento, San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, Portland and Palm Springs.
“Just been robbed at gun point 10 minutes into the US tour. Stopped for coffee. Man runs in saying some guys are smashing into a van. Ran out to try to stop it and find masked guys ransacking the van. Start yelling and they pull out a gun,” Sports Team detailed in the caption.
“Police response was ‘submit an online report.’ Lost a lot of personal gear, but they didn’t get the instruments so driving on to Sacramento to play tonight. They can take our Nintendo Switches but they can never take our ability to play rock songs about motorways.”
In all seriousness pretty shocking how resigned everyone seemed to be to it. ‘It happens.’ 9am at some petrol station Starbucks. Wild.”
Sports Team will deliver new album Boys These Days on February 28 via Distiller Records / Bright Antenna Records.
