The British indie band Sports Team was robbed at gunpoint in California on Tuesday while on their way to a play a show as part of their West Coast U.S. tour.
The incident occurred around 8:45 a.m. in Vallejo, in the San Francisco Bay area, as the group stopped for coffee at Starbucks while heading to their show in Sacramento.
One member of Sports Team caught part of the robbery on camera, including a sequence in which the band’s tour manager attempts to stop the crime but is scared off by a man with a gun.
“Obviously, if someone pulls a gun, you run for cover,” singer Alex Rice told the BBC. “But the thing that struck me about it was the resignation. The people around us weren’t very panicked at all. It seemed like a very everyday occurrence.”
Sports Team, which has two top 10 albums in the U.K., arrived in California on Monday for a seven-stop West Coast tour. They played a show in San Francisco on Monday night before hopping in their van for Sacramento.
Several of the members’ personal items were swiped from the van, including computers, passports and documents, the BBC reported. However, their instruments were locked in the back, so they were able to go on with their scheduled gig.
“They can take our Nintendo Switches but they can never take our ability to play rock songs about motorways,” the band wrote on Instagram shortly after the incident.
Vallejo police have not publicly commented on the robbery. When the band called 911 to report it, they said they were simply told to fill out an online form.
“The odd bit for us, cause I guess we were all in shock, is that in the U.K. at least, you don’t see guns,” drummer Al Greenwood told the San Francisco Standard. “If someone pulls a gun out, you’ve got a SWAT team there in five minutes, and the whole street’s closed down for a week.”
