Overview

• Yamal Said, drummer for Austin-based band Lord Buffalo, was detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection at DFW Airport on May 12 due to an active arrest warrant.
• The warrant, issued in Texas, alleges Said violated a protective order twice within a 12-month period, a felony offense under state law.
• The band canceled their eight-date European tour, originally scheduled to begin May 15, and announced they are working with legal counsel to secure Said's release.
• Said, a Mexican citizen and U.S. green card holder, has been unable to contact his bandmates since his detention and is currently being held on a $40,000 bond.
• Touring partner Orsak:Oslo will continue the scheduled shows without Lord Buffalo, while expressing solidarity with the band and Said.
