The Browning robbed in Italy, cancel tour

Kansas City band The Browning was robbed in Milan, Italy two days ago. All of their music equipment was stolen, in addition to luggage, clothing, and computers. As such, the group has cancelled the remainder of their European tour, which was scheduled to run through early March.
"The list of things taken is extensive and the cost to replace everything is over $10k, not to mention all of our luggage and clothing. Most heart breaking of all, they have stolen all of our musical equipment. We literally have no way, to play our music live as our show files lived on 3 laptops, and 4 separate external hard drives, all of which were stolen. We have to cancel the rest of our European tour and we have to rebuild our live show from scratch."
The Browning has set up a GoFundMe campaign for anyone willing to help, stating: "We have never asked for our fans help because it should only be done when completely necessary, and to be completely honest, we NEED your help."

This will be incredibly difficult to recover from. Cody and "I both make 100% of our living on the computers that were stolen. Not only did we lose our computers but we lost irreplaceable files and the past 9 years of my life's work gone, potentially damaging The Browning forever." this is why you back up things you care about. retards.

If these irresponsible twats couldn't be bothered to backup 9 years worth of work then they deserve zero sympathy. Hooray for Italy!

Fake News

Loses $10,000 worth of belongings, only asks for $5,000 from fans to replace "life's work." Hmm, I'm no detective, but this smells fishy to me.

Sucks the get your equipment stolen I'm sure, but the browning is a terrible fcking band. Hope they take this as a sign to break up.

"our show files lived on 3 laptops" I see the robbers also stole their base player with them.

"our show files lived on 3 laptops, " I see the robbers also stole the bass player too.

"We literally have no way, to play our music live as our show files lived on 3 laptops, and 4 separate external hard drives, all of which were stolen" Wait.... we're supposed to feel sorry for em or something?

anonymous 2/18/2017 9:29:22 AM

this band's name is hilarious, big league. sad!

anonymous 2/18/2017 9:37:08 AM

Sad state of rock n roll when a band mentions their music gear is stolen and only lists laptops. This shit is broken, can we start over?

anonymous 2/18/2017 9:38:52 AM

for a band that's made it this far you'd think they'd be smart enough to leave someone in the fcking van when they're in an area they are unfamiliar with. serves em right. fckin dweebs.

Usually bands get robbed IN Kansas City, not bands from Kansas City getting robbed. Backwards Day!

anonymous 2/18/2017 10:10:27 AM

Italy is awesome. Been there twice. Excellent food and the women are hot!!

anonymous 2/18/2017 12:32:46 PM

Couldn't have borrowed equipment from the openers or another band on tour? Pretty ridiculous that they can't play a show without laptops and hard drives.

anonymous 2/18/2017 12:52:57 PM

They took their fcking clothes too? Pretty hard to tour without a change of under ware..

anonymous 2/18/2017 1:00:44 PM

Do you even Google Drive bro?

anonymous 2/18/2017 2:24:00 PM

Guys I think a round of applause for Italy is in order. *Applauses

ineedmoresalt 2/18/2017 3:59:26 PM

Why wasn't the band name on those hard drives

anonymous 2/18/2017 4:09:41 PM

That's what you get for having electronics as 90% of your songs you dummy!

anonymous 2/18/2017 4:51:30 PM

1st mistake: naming your band The Browning. 2nd: not backing up files. 3. Being a BAND and not being physically able to play a show without tracks? Vanflip forever on these retards.

anonymous 2/18/2017 4:52:50 PM

They already conned 7 grand out of their fans, good for them lol

anonymous 2/18/2017 10:35:27 PM

I moved to Italy 2yrs ago and I'm never coming back. The US kinda sucks and so does this band.

anonymous 2/18/2017 11:10:56 PM

Frankie Palmeri is shocked

anonymous 2/19/2017 8:52:18 AM

The Browning isn't from Kansas City. None of us kansas citians even know of them.

Take this as a sign guys, hang it up, it's worrying that a group of serious-sounding adults can be so blissfully unaware how strange and awful their music has always been, like finally committing that family member to the looney bin who shits on his bedroom floor Every bday. Everyone's let them get away with the joke for so long it's worrying now
