Timothy Gray is the Group Editor of Variety. He is suing the Vandals over a font.
The Vandals are responding to fans requests for info on how they can help. To help, go to this site and see the people that are perpetrating what the Vandals feel is serious criminal activity against them. Blog about it, spread the word. Their pictures and emails are all there. Sometimes just exposing a frivolous lawsuit is more effective than fighting it in court. It’s certainly less expensive. Also, a fundraiser will be held at the Glasshouse in Pomona on September 10, 2010, where the Vandals will perform for the first time in L.A. this year. More info on that to come.

This ridiculous lawsuit seems like a desperate
and failing Variety magazine to try and squeeze
a nickel out of a band that was merely trying to
sell some albums. Shame on you, pathetic Variety
Mag!! I hope you go under soon!
joe is a genius and the others are lucky by association.. i hope the variety lose
