Trash Boat detail their Warped Tour experience in series of tweets
The Vans Warped Tour has seen its fair share of bad luck over the years, but Trash Boat might be one of the unluckiest bands on the tour.

Between a bus fire, missing the chance to hang out with puppies and being stranded in the desert, this band has been through it all.
The mayhem started June 30, where they began to share their Series Of Unfortunate Events-inspired tales. Starting off their Warped experience, they shared that their bus not only lost a wheel, but caught on fire.
While the odds seemed stacked against them, they were determined to continue on…
So our bus lost a wheel and caught fire last night! We’re all fine, doing our best to make it to Salt Lake. We’ll keep y’all updated. ?

But then, the band realized that making it to Utah wouldn’t be possible.
Sorry Utah. We aren’t going to make it today. We’ll make it up to you somehow. ?

Then, to make matters worse, the band missed out on the chance to hang out with puppies (our hearts are seriously broken for them!)
We keep seeing pictures of people at the Utah warped date with puppies and it’s fucking upsetting.

While they missed the puppies, they did have good news…well, at least they thought so anyway.
We have a new bus coming. Currently stuck in a casino but should make it to tomorrow’s show in Denver.. we hope! https://t.co/RDKBlH908d

After waiting for a replacement bus for over 20 hours in a Nevada desert, the band realized that they wouldn’t be making the Denver date either.
We’re sorry Denver. We waited for 22 hours in the Nevada desert for a replacement bus and it only arrived at 6am this morning. We physically can’t make it to play today. ?

Yesterday (July 2) the band posted a statement of their latest Warped adventure, and while they missed a third date of the tour, it looks as though they’ll be good for the remaining dates.
Read the statement below:
“Hey Warped Tour. Here’s an update on our situation for anyone who’s out of the loop. The night after Las Vegas our bus caught fire and we were left stranded for 24 hours waiting for a replacement bus causing us to miss the show in Salt Lake City. That bus then also broke down on the way to Denver making us miss that show too.
After being stuck in the desert for 60 hours now, we’re going to rent a vehicle to make out way to Kansas. This means, unfortunately, we’re not going to be able to make the show in St Louis tomorrow. We’re very sorry and we hope to join the tour again in Kansas. Thanks for understanding.

This band just can’t win and our hearts are heavy.
Trash Boat recently released “Inside Out,” the second single off of their upcoming album, Crown Shyness, which releases July 20.
You can (hopefully) catch Trash Boat all summer long for the remaining dates of the final cross-country run of the Vans Warped Tour. Check out the full list of cities and dates below!
