Sorry for the multiple bulletins, but we're just about ready lose our minds.
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.

Hello. As many of you have already heard, our van, the van we bought two days before we left for tour, was stolen with all our equipment in Philadelphia. Our van was parked in a 24-hour attended secured lot with bright lighting and a club on the steering wheel. Even though we did everything we could to keep this van safe and secured, the thieves sawed through the club, hotwired the van and drove it through the parking lot checkout fence. Pretty unbelievable. Unfortunately our van insurance does not cover theft and while some of our insurance might cover some of the gear, it will most likely be minimal.
Thanks so much to all the support we've been getting from our fans. Emails, myspace posts and articles, it's wonderful to feel like we're not alone in this. Also, because we'll be the ones getting hit with these costs we've set up a PayPal account for donations. If you are able to donate anything at all, we'd be extremely appreciative. Everything and anything at this point helps. Please head over to our website http://www.filmschoolmusic.com to make a donation.
Here are the dates we'll still be able to play:
3/10: Massachusetts, Welleseley College w/ Cloud Room3/11: New York, Mercury Lounge w/ Cloud Room3/12: New York, Mercury Lounge (second show added!)3/14: Memphis, Hi Tone w/ Cloud Room3/16: Austin, SXSW Beggars Banquet showcase at Club Deville (6th & Red River), 9pm3/17: Austin, SXSW Jane magazine party at Beauty Bar (7th & Red River), time TBA w/Nada Surf, Mates of State, Of Montreal, Film School, The M's, What Made Milwaukee Famous, Tiny Steps3/18: Austin, SXSW Hi Dive party at Gallery Lombardi (910 3rd at N.Lamar), 3:45pm w/Dressy Bessy, the M's, Ester Drang, Paul Jenkins (of Black Heart Procession), Bright Channel and more3/31: San Francisco, Noise Pop Festival at Slim's4/1: Los Angeles, The Troubadour w/Cloud Room

FINALLY, Scram's anthemic "Here Tonite" is up. Love this song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mRF3Kh_yko
My favorite local Philly band during the 80s, with Ruin as a close second.
And, also huge, "Stand Up":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvbgN_yjL6g
It's sad about Scram. They reinvented their sound as they went on, digging more deeply into African music, adding percussion, and drafting saxophonist Elliot Levin, but they didn't get much support.
― _Rudipherous_, Saturday, 25 June 2011 18:56 (twelve years ago) link
And you can complain about the protest lyrics (though I find them pretty palatable here) but you cannot deny the "Here Tonite" hook.
― _Rudipherous_, Saturday, 25 June 2011 19:10 (twelve years ago) link
Never saw this band live (probably would've been too scared?), but I liked some of their songs on the radio. the Sadistic Exploits:

(Actually I think they were from New Jersey, but close enough.)

The Goats were Philadelphia weren't they? & were actually a band when they played live at least.I love Tricks of The Shade but not No Goats No Glory so much. They lost a central member between the 2 releases though I think. Have hoped that some live material by the band might appear somewhere but think I've only got one track possibly.
I know the Arkestra did spend some time in Philadelphia but can't think what era they were based there in. What Sun Ra lps does that relate to?

Started a thread about this band, but I'm going to post it here too. These are reacreations, years later, by band member Todd Shuster, but I think the songs still come through. Late 70s Philadelphia punk.

As a child, something like 1973-1978. As an adult: 1989-2008
But also went to Temple 1983-1987, and worked and played there most of 1987-1989.
