Morning Teleportation&Desert Noises

Desert Noises and Morning Teleportation had their worst day of touring ever on Saturday. We knew that they had been robbed and the van vandalized before they even arrived in Norfolk. That alone made it the worst day of this tour, but after a great show, things went from bad to incomprehensible very quickly. Here is Desert Noises recap of the day:
"We have received a lot of messages wondering what is going on at the DN camp so here is a long post with some more info. We woke up in Philly and walked from the apartment we were staying at to where the van and trailer was parked. Upon arriving we noticed the tires were slashed, the step was trashed, the muffler gone and the inside rummaged through. Money from the show in New York was gone. Tired and upset we were able to get everything fixed and on our way to Norfolk, VA. There we met an amazing couple who wanted to give a bed for each of us to lay or heads for the night, food, and love for what we had went through. Upon arriving Kyle pulled 2 houses down not realizing he had missed their home. We got out to see a light shining on our faces followed by yelling. We started walking away when 5 gun shots were fired. We dove to the ground and got the neighbor in the car. Kyle drove off. Shuffled and terrified someone was hurt we met back up at the house. Luckily, no one was shot. The police were called but nothing could be done. It was incredibly terrifying and upsetting. There is no reason for this kind of behavior. We love what we do and we are very lucky to still be able to do it. A lot of you have asked how you can help and all we can say is come to the shows, dance, and sing with us! We love you all and thank you for all of your support and kind words!"
We hate that they will associate our city with their worst day ever. They need lots of van work: a new muffler, two new tires, and a new running board. They also lost a night's wages.
We can't undo the shooting, but we can repair some damage and create some memories of love - after all, Virginia is for Lovers - Music Lovers!
