Although…

Some sad news from [tag]Deerhunter[/tag], it seems frontman Bradford Cox and guitarist Lockett Pundt got mugged at gun point, in their own home town of Atlanta, right after a gig. Some cash and belongings were stolen, but nothing more then that, as the two weren’t hurt in any way and don’t seem very shocked from the whole experience.

Half…
