Twilight Sad Mugged The Twilight Sad are the Twilight Angry in a thank you letter at MySpace that describes being pulled over and robbed at gunpoint by two guys in fake police uniforms who hid the band's van keys and tossed their passports onto the highway after stealing their money.

This is terrible. According to Drowned in Sound, a similar thing happened to another british band, iLiKETRAiNS, last year. In the same stretch too, traveling from Italy to Germany.

Judging from the "letter", all they did was take the money. That's always a good thing, considering they were armed.

"twilight angry" ahah classic.

that sucks hard. even if they are a mediocre, kind of crap, 2006-Editors-sounding band, they don't deserve to be robbed at gunpoint.
