NEUROSONIC frontman/mastermind Jason Darr recently checked in at the band's official MySpace page with an update on the band's gear, which went missing following a brief jaunt opening for Bif Naked in the UK:

The Terrorist Threat Known As Neurosonic

Well, this has been the most interesting day of this tour and we didn't even have a show!!! If you have been following our blogs, you will recall our terrible luck at Heathrow Airport last month. We lost a lot of gear and personal luggage...

Well, as the weeks have gone by, we finally get the call from those British Airways f***ers. They have our bags...in Germany!!! Finally!!! So, they say they can get them to us in Houston, but only 6 of the 9 pieces showed up. They have no idea where the other stuff is...

...Until today... I get a call from a security official at OHare airport in Chicago. It seems that my pedal board that was missing has been confiscated by the FBI. Since it was a bunch of wires and stuff in a hardcase, they opened it to see what it was. They discovered something very serious and they found it extremely threatening to the safety of Americans. Inside my pedal board was a coded terror letter that referred to violence...

"Are you sh**ing me??" I asked this guy. What letter could be in my pedal case that would refer to death in some f***ing code???

I finally convinced the guy to read me this terrorist letter...and so he began, "Are Solar, Crazy Sheila, Fearless, So Many People, Frankenstein, I Will Always Be Your Fool, Until I Die..."

I burst out laughing. "Dude, that is what is known in the music industry as a set list", I explained in the confusion. "Its for stupid musicians like me who can't remember the song order at a show!" Chuckling at this knucklehead periodically, I started to relax. It gets better though...

It seems that they can't ship us this contraband because no courier will touch a hot item like that! But at least we know where it is...

Oh yeah... and we kicked the shit out of Dallas... Again!!!

Rock On
