Because it’s not hard enough for bands as it is in this day and age between streaming payouts being naff all, venues taking a cut of merchandise sales and more sharks in the industry than Deep Sea World, here’s another thing bands have to worry about with yet another occurrence of a band having their stuff nicked. Something which is becoming all too prevalent.
Here’s what the band themselves have to say, as well as how you can get in touch with them if you spot anything:
Last evening The Answer gear (radio mics, luggage, Marshall TSL), guitars (Gibson Les Paul Tobacco burst, Yamaha Bas BB, pedal board) and tour van were stolen from the premier Inn outside the Birmingham NEC. The gear was on its way to Bristol for rehearsals for the forthcoming March & April tour.
We would appreciate if all those bands in our small industry could share this post and if anyone is offered gear to buy especially in the West Midlands area, please 07802 498905.
The van stolen is a Black Transit van, reg no. WL11 EHW, if any one spots it please the number above.
The touring business for all bands is hard enough at the best of times so it rips the heart out of all the preparation and hard work that goes into putting a tour together when scumbag thieves do s**t like this. We remain undeterred, to all other bands, please stay vigilant.
