Ghosthorse & Stillborn seem to have gotten a little too adventurous, as freak-hop band CocoRosie have been arrested, necessitating the cancellation of the rest of their U.S. North American tour. In a MySpace bulletin posted today, the Touch and Go sister act wrote, "We are so sorry to announce that we cannot play the rest of the U.S. tour dates. The band got arrested, that's all I can say." The full text can be read below.

Thanks to reader Dave Madden for alerting us.

The Casady's Canadian and European shows will take place as planned, as will a May 19 free gig at the World Financial Center in New York City.

No other information about the arrest is available, but we hope it involves smuggling unicorns.
