Bdrmm have launched a crowdfunder after a non-payment from a festival has left them at risk of being unable to tour later this year.The Hull shoegaze band have said that they’re owed £6,500, an outstanding sum that’s left them struggling to fund their upcoming autumn tour.Detailing their situation in the fundraiser’s description – dubbed the “bdrmm got effed over” fund – the group said that they “don’t take this decision lightly”.Posting a link to the crowdfunder on social media this weekend (September 1), they wrote that “due to astronomical rises in touring prices and the unfortunate recent event of us not being paid for a festival, which we poured all our cash into to get to, we have found ourselves at a very unfortunate and desperate situation, in the form of a crowdfunder”.They went on: “We don’t take this decision lightly but due to the referent festival circumstances (of withholding to pay us a promised €6.5k – and cost us upwards of £3k to travel too) this seems like the only way forwards to help us in covering our upcoming tour costs.
