Their myspace blog post really just says it all:

Hey! So as you all may have heard, my amp was broken in Brooklyn. Some asshole decided to spill their whiskey all over it before we played and I unknowingly turned it on and blew out all the output tubes and short circuited the board (????).

So basically it cost a FORTUNE ($300 bones) to repair on the road, which sucks because I just spent 200 dollars before we left getting it fixed. SO IT SUCKS!!!

PLEASE buy our merch when you come to our shows, dude! COME TO OUR SHOWS, PERIOD!
It would help out so much!!!! Or even if you want to donate a dollar because you feel my tour pain, that would be great, too. <3333333333
