In some rather odd news over the weekend it has transpired that on their recent tour with The Faceless, The Zenith Passage drummer Luis Martinez thought he would have a five finger discount after the band performed.
Having played a show at the Omaha venue of The Lookout Lounge, The Zenith Passage drummer decided to pinch a fairly expensive E-cigarette from one employee named Walter. As with most places in the world now the room was decked out in CCTV and the entire act had been caught essentially leading our man to be caught red handed as they say.
After the item was stolen which retails at around the $200 mark the following Facebook post was made :
“Someone from The Zenith Passage came in my place of employment at roughly 12:40am on tuesday looking for a lost wallet. In the process they STOLE my electronic cigarette, which retailed at well over a hundred dollars. I am angry. I have video evidence. Fuck liars, fuck thieves. Share this so promoters and fans know who they are dealing with.”
Since then both bands have gotten involved releasing statements first off The Zenith Passage :
“Hey Walter, we assume responsibility for our drummer Luis taking the e cigarette. We had absolutely no idea what happened that night with him as he was drunk and has no memory of it happening, nor is it a true judgement of his character. We completely apologize. Please don’t cast judgement on The Faceless as they had no involvement and also had no clue. Luis will be contacting you shortly for mailing address to send it back. Once again apologies and we hope you will forgive Luis and his dumb, drunken actions.”
The Faceless also posted :
“Walter, we are incredibly sorry for that member of The Zenith Passage’s behavior. We had nothing to do with this, but we feel bad that it happened to you. Stealing is NOT something that we condone. We would like to purchase a new electronic cigarette for you, and give you free tickets to our next show in your city. Please email our manager, and we will send you money for a new electronic cigarette.”
And finally the man himself :
“I take responsibility for my actions and deeply apologize. As was said I was black out drunk with no memory of what happened even though thats still no excuse and isnt a good judgement of my character. As we all know when people get black out drunk their judgement and decisions are no longer in the hands of your logical self. I’d also like to apologize to the venue and all of you just a mistake made by impaired judgement. Walter and I have made amends and have made arrangements to clear things up. The Faceless had nothing to do with this neither did my band mates.”
As far as we are aware the situation has resolved itself, silly bloody boy.
