Suburban Legends Face Another Loss

[Brandon Allin]

The Suburban Legends (http://www.suburbanlegends.com) van recently caught fire while parked outside a friends house in St. Louis. You can read a message from the band regarding the incident below.
Hello to all of our fans and friends, Derek here. We are writing to inform all of you of a tragic loss that has happened to Suburban Legends a little over 2 hours ago at 4:30am.

We were stationed on a day off from our tour at our family friend's house in St. Louis. We all went to sleep and were woken by Phil who was on the phone with his girlfriend, and caught a glimpse of our van (paked out front) on fire.

We all rushed outside and put the flames out with a hose and the fire department arrived shortly after to help extinquish what was left of the fire.

So far the facts are still unclear and an investigation is happening right now.

Our van is toast, the whole front was engulfed in flames and it seems that it could have been broken into (smashed window) and our cash money from shows was stolen from our brief case and from our money bag. Nothing makes sense right now.

We are uncertain of what delays we will face because of this horrible event and of what upcoming shows we will or will not be able to attend. Please keep us in your prayers as this problem is solved and we get our answers to this terrible event. We will update as soon as we have more information.

Thankyou for your support,

Suburban Legends

Poor guys. That sucks...

It's not a tragic loss, nobody died. Yes, you lost your van and it sucks, but don't tell me it's tragic. At least everyone is safe.

Of course its a good thing no one was hurt... so in that respect, it is not a tragic loss. Just a MAJOR one. I mean, imagine being a couple thousand miles from home and your only means of transportation goes up in flames. All your cash is gone and you are left stranded. That would seem pretty serious to me.

I would think that after losing your trombone player and one of your best friends not too long ago, and blow this band could takes could be considered along the lines of "tragic."

I wish for nothing but the best for these guys.

gah i feel horrible.

I'm just glad they're okay. Some bands have a member sleep in the van to guard the equipment each night. This could have been a lot worse. It still sucks about their money.
