Ohio no-fi band Times New Viking have no direction! Well, not anymore, after their touring van was broken into and relieved of their tour earnings and satellite navigation system.

The band's label Matador Records set the scene, "The band's van was parked behind The Old Blue Last after a show as part of the Stag & Dagger festival [on May 15th]. We commiserated with Old Street kebabs at 3am. Obviously, if anyone saw anything please get in touch."

The news comes in the wake of Mayor Boris Johnson's (man, we still can't get used to saying that) pledge to cut crime in London. Although, in the interests of political neutrality we should point out that people get robbed and killed whichever party is in power, with the exception of the Taleban party, who's slogan is "Don't even think about it! Or we'll kill ya!"

So, if a trio of musicians appear on your doorstep asking where a venue is, do them a favour, give them a sat-nav, or directions, whichever is cheaper.
