Grizzly Bear’s unfortunate tour bus accident has been all over the news today, and while, thankfully, no one was injured, they weren’t the only band to be involved in a nerve-wracking auto incident this weekend.
Scottish indie outfit The Twilight Sad had the more harrowing experience of the two, and the band posted the following message on their blog yesterday:
Thanks again to the 2 nice men who got dressed into their fake police uniforms, put on their bullet proof vests, put their guns in their pockets, pulled us over, showed us their fake police ID, stole our money, hid our van keys, and threw our passports onto the motorway. It was very much appreciated, I hope we can do it again sometime. We’ll get moonpig to make you a nice card. fucking c**ts.
These are the only details known about the incident at this time. The band is currently on tour in Europe, and we can only hope the remaining shows aren’t affected by the downright horrible turn of events.

11/17 Schorndorf, Germany – Manufactur
11/18 Heidelberg, Germany – Karlstorbahnhof
11/19 Müenster, Germany – Gleiss 22
11/20 Amsterdam, Netherlands – Paradiso
