Cursed ask for your help!

Canadian ear- mashers Cursed need your help! For those of you who have not heard, the band was robbed on the second-to-last day of their recent European tour, losing most of their tour earnings, passports, and other valuables, including the cash that they had set aside to pay tour costs. This single violent act has all but crippled the band, and the band has considered breaking up in the face of this hard to overcome adversity. You can read all of the sordid details on the band's blog site.

Chris Logan, of the band's label Goodfellow Records, has set up a PayPal account for fans that wish to donate some cash to help alleviate Cursed's financial problems. PayPal payments can be sent to the address paulyspasta@hotmail.com with the subject CURSED DONATION. Music blogs are also asked to help spread the word about the band's financial difficulties.

The Reverend has known too many bands that have been ripped off through the years, losing their gear, their hard-earned cash, or both...and it always sucks ass. It's a hardship for any touring band (who are usually living hand-to-mouth) to experience this kind of crap, and more often than not it breaks up the band. I'll be giving a few bucks to help Cursed, and hope that others will kick in five or ten bucks for the band.
