New Banksy trashed, by finsburyparkranger on Sept 12, 2007 13:28:06 GMT 1, News alert !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sadly the archway piece 'anywhere' has been sprayed over with the name 'the inconsolables'. Its an electric punk band. I know graf art is transient and its inevitable but that was the only piece of happyness in Archway. I really feel like hitting the inconsolables next gig and splashing a bit of paint around. Not sure i should even be giving them the publicity but this is what they wanted ....

so an online attack could be launched!
send them messages on their myspace on their comment wall
along the lines of:
can't believe saturday's gig is cancelled
That track you played first last night, its a blatant rip off of ........
or even better, why doesnt someone pretend to be an A&R guy, and string them along a bit!

New Banksy trashed, by scavos on Sept 12, 2007 14:59:17 GMT 1, Like fpr says, I really hope this doesn't give them the publicity they/or their fans seek. It'll just encourage other like minded fuckwits to do the same.
Perhaps it's one we can read, mourn over and sadly let go.
I'd imagine they've had more hits in the last couple of days than they ever could have dreamed of; certainly more than they deserve.
Maybe this thread should just slip away quietly, and hopefully the band will do the same?

New Banksy trashed, by Coach on Sept 12, 2007 16:31:20 GMT 1, isn't it more likely to be their fans rather than them? couldnt resist looking at their news page on their website, to see if there was any mention of it - they ask their fans to stop graff-ing their name.
dont get me wrong, gutting when a banksy work of art is destroyed. but just who is to blame?
having said that i havnt seen the piece or whats been done to it, so i may be talking crap again!
and yes, i know, ive increased the number of hits to their website, sorry

New Banksy trashed, by finsburyparkranger on Sept 12, 2007 16:36:20 GMT 1, Ok hold up. Just been to check it out and its not that bad. The piece hasn't been majorly compromised. My work collegue seemed to be pretty pissed off about it and made out that it was much worse than it was. Still, its not cool tagging over such an important piece of street art just for marketing purposes. I just hope they don't have any more more plans...
EDIT: Sorry no pics.
