David Sanchez of Havok

UPDATE: Good morning! The guys are back on the road, doing a US run and will be in Denver on Sept 26th at the Summit Music Hall. They are still trying to meet their fund raising goal and aren’t there yet. Again, the band was robbed of so much of their gear 2 weeks ago and fund raising to help replace much of what was lost. Please make a donation if you can and pass along the post as well =) Thank you for your help!

You may be unfamiliar with this fund raising site, but it allows the majority of the funds to go directly to the participant and not get fleeced by the site and it’s advertisers. (YAY!)

From Sara Sanchez: Dear family and friends, below is the story of my son and his group- a day in the life of a working band [Havok]. They were robbed last week and leave for another tour tomorrow!

When the going gets tough, sometimes the tough have to ask for some help from their friends. =) If you can donate anything, it WILL help! If you can share the news and post, that may also help! We are hoping they can recover from this overwhelming event as soon as is possible! Thank you all, in advance and for supporting my son and his rock and roll dream <3 -From the band... "Our European tour was a ton of fun! We’d like to thank Converge, Gorguts, Revocation, Fallujah, Venom Prison, and Amon Amarth for sharing the stage with us, as well as everyone who came out to these shows to support live music. Without the fans, there is no show. We returned home to some unfortunate news… Our trailer was broken into and our gear was stolen. The thieves broke our trailer door and got away with custom drums, cymbals, discontinued amplifiers, custom road cases, merchandise, and a new generator. This news hits us doubly hard because we already had expensive vehicle repairs to make before hitting the road this Thursday for the Metal Alliance Tour. This seems to be a kind of sadistic alignment of the stars that’s left us high and dry, and we need help getting out of this hole. The band has dealt with major losses in the past, but always figured out a way to solve the problem on our own; this time it’s overwhelming. Havok has never asked fans for financial help before, but if there was ever a time to do that - it is now. To be frank, we are boned, and we cannot afford to replace the gear that was stolen AND fix our vehicle. We tour our asses off and still aren’t rich, by any means. This is the first time we are asking fans to donate to our cause of riffs and truth in the name of heavy metal. We are trying to raise $19,000 to replace the gear that was stolen and help with our vehicle maintenance. Touring is our lifeblood and without our gear and vehicle, we cannot do it. If you enjoy the music we make, or seeing us live, please consider making a donation. Every little bit helps. We have started a Venmo account where you can send donations easily online. (It only takes 1 minute to sign up.) https://venmo.com/havokband (If Venmo is unavailable in your area, you can donate via PayPal : petewebb2@yahoo.com) We would like to thank you in advance for sharing this, spreading the word, and supporting Havok. Without fans we are nothing, and we know that. Love, wisdom, and riffs to you, HAVOK David https://www.facebook.com/HavokOfficial/

VooDoo Hawks’ Trailer Broken Into – Gear Stolen

Rikki Dee Hall: Received the worst birthday present ever yesterday. Went to pick up ice and on the way back I noticed The VooDoo Hawks trailer doors wide open. At 3am yesterday morning someone cut the lock off the trailer door and stole the band’s equipment. Good thing is we’re getting the serial numbers and video together. Now we’re gonna play a game called “Who gets to them first…. police or Rikki Dee” GAME ON. This is going to be fun.
