Blackbraid's GoFundMe saves the day, band makes it to Decibel Magazine Tour despite van breakdown
Sgah'gahsowáh at The Regency Ballroom in San Francisco
Dylan TarreYesterday, on the way to The Regency Ballroom in San Francisco, Blackbraid's van transmission broke, forcing the band to put up a GoFundMe in order to make it to the last two dates of the Decibel Magazine Tour with Dark Funeral, Cattle Decapitation, and 200 Stab Wounds in San Francisco last night, and Los Angeles today.
Luckily, the band was able to raise funds very quickly and the band made it to the show in San Francisco, and will make it to LA tonight.
The full GoFundMe post read:
We are Blackbraid, an indigenous black metal band from the heart of the Adirondacks. We are here humbly asking for help repairing our van's transmission so we can play our last two shows and return home to Los Angeles safely.
We ask for enough to
- repair our van
- tow it to the nearest shop
- get alternative transportation to San Francisco and Los Angeles if the van can't be repaired in time
UPDATE 6/9/2023 4:24 PM
thank you so much for your support and kindness. The van will not be ready in time for either of the remaining shows of the tour. As a result, we will have to rent another vehicle for the journey to San Francisco and then Los Angeles. We will then need to arrange transportation back to Vacaville to pick up the van if it can be repaired so it can be brought back to Los Angeles
This could have been a tour-ending disaster for us: instead, your support has made it possible for us to bring blackbraid to the bay and to LA: we are extremely humbled and grateful.
Lambgoat attended the show, and just happened to capture Sgah'gahsowáh burning sage:

Post CommentDid he mean, "We are Blackbraid, a Native American black metal band?"
'Did I mention we are an indigenous black metal band?!' Would anyone care about you if you weren't?
Fully funded by guilty White women who literally committed genocide against indigenous American peoples in 1999.
Daily reminder that the forefathers of indigenous people today committed genocide against other indigenous peoples.
Aren't the Adirondacks in New York though? 🧐
"Lambgoat attended the show," You must be so proud mom finally let you go to a show
"Aren't the Adirondacks in New York though? 🧐" They are. Most of the band lives in LA.
Affirmative action. Also sage stinks that's like having your nose r@ped
" Biden voter who drinks Bud Light and shops at Target that thinks men can have babies and grooms children into their personal sexual fantasies. Head to Canada where the government is far more restrictive because that is obviously what you fùckbag liberals want." So many talking points. So brave. What're you gonna do when your little orange god gets the book thrown at him? f*ck your feelings. It's fun to watch you suffer.
^^^Your TDS is hilariously sad. Who hurt you little fella?
Liberal here, my pronouns are they/he and I'm a liberal studies major with a minor in Queer studies (OMG it's the best). I am white (sorry), but I'm working on my anti-racism techniques. Been doing some personal CRT work on my own (humble brag). My boyfriend and I have also been working on ways to promote transgenderism in elementary schools because I believe ALL children can be whatever they want to be. The imagination is endless! Additionally, we are working on ways to limit language because as we all know, words can be used as weapons by the right (big jerks). THEY ARE HARMFUL! Anyway, I'm off to the local drag queen show!!! Those ladies are so cray!!! Hehehehahahahaha!!! HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
AAA for a tow. Rebuilt transmission with installation maybe 2k tops. Pathetic
All of this hate directed towards the Indigenous yet still the Gays and Blacks think they are ones who are marginalized. My eyes must be lying to me.
AAA is $100 / year. Free towing up to 100 miles to a shop. Look into it brother.
If burning sage worked to solve problems or protect them, this mess would have never happened in the first place. Common sense.
f*cking cash grab. We need money to fund the last two shows? Just call your parents/friends and get your asses home. People are f*cking dumb as hell still even in 2023.
^^^This. People trashed Puciato in the other thread but his trailer was wrecked on tour a couple weeks ago and he didn't start a gofundme.
How is it a "tour-ending disaster" when there are only two dates left? These fools could have booked Greyhound or Amtrak tickets if so desperate. The level of gayness today is off the rails.
"Well to be fair the Juice and Arabs " The Juice? Like OJ Simpson??
Broke down once and finished two weeks with everyone/everything in a box truck from uhaul with no windows and these guys are complaining about two shows
For 11k I'll hop on Facebook and get a better e-350 and a brand new 8x10…
"^Groomer." Got me good with that one! Serious question though: how many times did you beat off watching your sister shower in the double wide??
*Sick. Also, have a Bud Light and relax. Live a little.
GoFundMe should stop allowing these types of bullshit "fundraisers." Oh no, the piece of shit van we never did maintenance on (or didn't have inspected before renting) broke down and we NEED to finish our last two shows on tour. Boo f_cking hoo. These a-holes have parents, friends, and money from their last show(s) and merch sales. Do what the rest of the world does in these situations - rob Paul to pay Mary. Wow, we burned sage. Hope your van breaks down after the next show, too.
GoFundMe will allow this bullshit, but it shuts down an American patriot like Kyle Rittenhouse because left wingers love, burning, looting and destruction and hates truth, justice, America and the 2nd amendment.
