Future Islands have had to cancel the end of their tour after having a laptop with all the band's backing tracks stolen after the show at Subterranean last night.

From bassist William Cashion:

They smashed our van window and only stole Gerrit's bookbag, a red & black bookbag, which, among other things, had his laptop in it with all of our backing tracks.. at 1am in the parking lot of lazlos... It's also worth mentioning that the dudes who robbed us put two pieces of cheese on our windshield, as a calling card.

If you have any information on the theft please contact the band at fuschiaeyelids [at] gmail [dot] com
