To recap, our van was stolen this morning around 8am from the Comfort Inn on Delaware Ave in Philadelphia. It was a white, 2003 Ford E-350, California license plates. ALL of our gear was taken. Here's a list of what's missing:
- 1966 Ludwig drum kit, blue sparkle
- 23" Paiste ride cymbal
- 1976 Fender P-bass, no finish, beat down, Bartolini pick-up
- 1993 Gibson SG, black
- 1973 Fender Telecaster Deluxe, cream, with marble pickguard, humbuckers
- Fender Twin Reverb amp, 70's silverface, master volume
- Fender Deville guitar amp
- early 70's Ampeg SVT bass head with 2 massive metal handles on the sides
- Ampeg SVT 410HLF bass cabinet
- Peavey keyboard amp
- 3 boxes of effects: 2 Line 6 delay pedals, Memory Man Deluxe, Big Muff, SansAmp Bass DI, Rat, MXR distortion, Cry Baby wah, 2 Boss EQ pedals, Boss Digital Delay, 2 Boss Tuners. These were in 3 different suitcases.
- Kurzweil K2000 keyboard
- Boss Dr. Sample
If anyone in the Philadelphia area has any info where this stuff might surface we'd really appreciate it. Or, if you find our van or our gear we can pay you handsome reward. Seriously.
As for the rest of the tour, here's what's happening:
Wed-DC - cancelled
Thur-Providence - cancelled
Friday-Wellesely College - cancelled
Sat-Mercury Lounge - still on
Sun-Mercury Lounge - still on
Monday- Memphis - ???
all SXSW shows are still on.
If anything changes or the equipment fairy makes a special delivery I'll post a bulletin here to let everyone know. Thanks to everyone who wrote to us. It really means a lot. Thanks again.

Film School
I dont care how much effort it takes every night, bands need to start taking their gear inside motels with them
Seriously. Is there some new gear thievery ring in action or are we just hearing more about the thefts when they happen?

Yeah….esp in a city like Philidelphia. The area they're talking about is right on the river just across from Camden….another bad place to leave your gear.

CYHSY were not as bad as I was expecting after hearing all of the negativity about their October show. The new material sounded great and while the set started to unravel at the end, they sounded great most of the time.
The mix was way off for Dr. Dog who had glimmers of promise. I'll have to give them a listen someother time.
However, if I heard one more person clap their hands and yell "yeah" around me, I think I would have punched them. It wasn't funny the first time, and doing it for the entirety of the the time between Dr. Dog and CYHSY didn't make it any funnier.

Clap your hands… might very well be the worst live band I have ever seen, really disappointing. Great band recording albums but this people shouldn't be allowed to play live. I thought they were awful, the sound was terrible. Would still buy their next album, but wouldn't see them live.
….and twins.
