Filth have turned to crowdfunding after their van and trailer were damaged this week amid their current U.S. touring. While the band were able to escape the crash without serious injury, in a post shared yesterday, March 11th, they outlined their subsequent dire financial situation:
“Yesterday morning we were in an accident on I 95 that ended with the other individual fleeing the scene and us with a totaled van and wrecked trailer. Everyone is okay and safe. We were able to rush around and lock in a RV to finish the tour, and with the help of our tour mates Blackwater Drowning we were able to still perform last night. Between the cost of the RV rental, needing to purchase a new van, tour expenses, merch payment that has to be paid, etc, we are drastically in the negative and not sure how we can move forward.
We truly hate to ask for any help, but at the moment we are at our wits end. We can not express how much we appreciate all the support we’ve gotten over the years from everyone, it means the world to us. If you donate $50 or more we will send you a free shirt and guest list to any show of your choice. If you donate that amount, please email us and let us know what size, etc. If you don’t we will have no idea cause godundme doesn’t keep up with it, and we want to do this and say thank you. The email address will be in the comments. Again thank you Gutter Gang for all the love over the years”
This GoFundMe was launched to get the group back on their feet. Their ongoing touring plans this month include:
