British indie band Sports Team have been robbed at gunpoint at the very start of a tour of the United States . The six-person group, who are due to play dates across the US this month, had not even performed their first show when their tour van was broken into at a gas station in Vallejo, California on Tuesday morning.

"They can take our Nintendo Switches but they can never take our ability to play rock songs about motorways," the band shared on social media.
