British rock band Sports Team was robbed at gunpoint in California while stopping for coffee ahead of their first concert of a U.S. tour. The band’s first scheduled gig for the tour is in Sacramento. The London-based alternative rock band stopped for coffee at a Starbucks in Vallejo and a group of armed men scoured their van. One of the robbers pulled a gun on a band member who went to confront them. “Just been robbed at gun point 10 minutes into the US tour. Stopped for coffee. Man runs in saying some guys are smashing into a van. Ran out to try to stop it and find masked guys ransacking the van. Start yelling and they pull out a gun,” the band posted to Instagram. “Police response was ‘submit an online report.’ Lost a lot of personal gear, but they didn’t get the instruments so driving on to Sacramento to play tonight. They can take our Nintendo Switches but they can never take our ability to play rock songs about motorways. In all seriousness pretty shocking how resigned everyone seemed to be to it. ‘It happens’. 9am at some petrol station Starbucks. Wild,” the post continued.

The thief, according to a statement from the band cited by The Guardian, got away with stage equipment, laptops, passports, personal items and other valuables.

Because you’re being robbed right now,” Greenwood told BBC News. “Lauren, our tour manager, was slightly ahead of me, and somebody else ran past us in the opposite direction, and said, ‘Careful, he’s holding something.’” “I really thought I was about to watch someone get shot, because it took a while for our tour manager to realize. In the video, you can hear me screaming at her to get down.” Known for their songs “M5,” “The Drop,” and “Here’s the Thing,” Sports Band were nominated for a Mercury Prize in 2020 — an annual award ceremony that honors the best music albums from the UK and Ireland. The band’s debut album, “Deep Down Happy,” shot to the second spot on the UK Albums Chart, serving as a springboard for their 2022 album “Gulp!” which reached the top three in the charts.
