MP3: Cars Can Be Blue – You’re So Cute
Oh those twee bands; always causing so much trouble. Cars Can Be Blue were detained in the UK for trying to play shows without a work permit. Here’s a quick excerpt of the full story, as told by Nate Mitchell:
I had been told I was going to Oxford, but now I was being taken someplace else? What the fuck was going on?
It was difficult to gauge how long the next van ride was, probably another hour and a half or two hours. It all seemed incredible, absolutely incredible. I was being treated like a prisoner, a dangerous terrorist or something equivalent, all because my stupid band had booked some shows in the UK without a work permit?
To help pay for their legal fees, Happy Happy Birthday to Me is pressing 100 vinyl copies of their debut abum All the Stuff We Do. You can preorder it here.
