Hello.

Califone, who were in SF for the past few days, had all of their gear
stolen from their parked van yesterday. A lot of this stuff is
pretty distinct; if you have ANY leads or see any of this stuff
PLEASE get in touch asap.

here's a list of the stuff that got ripped off:

mid 1960's danelectro guitar- gold, 6 string, tuning pegs a little
damaged. there is a rubber band holding one of the tuners together.
tweed rectangle guitar case.

1971 fender telecaster custom guitar- blonde with a black pickguard.
silver humbucking pick up is upside down. 2 custom switches on
pickguard. black rectangle case.

1917 milano violin with bow - in leather case.

telano banjo - in black rectangle case.

campbell-drury accoustic guitar- jumbo size, custom made one of a
kind guitar. headstock has the letters C.D. blonde wood grain. very
nice. in a blonde tweed guitar shaped case.
has some red fake blood near the soundhole and duct tape along the top
edge.

national combo amplifier. black and gold. one ten inch speaker and
tremolo. aprox 60 watts.

+
e-bow
boss pedal tuner
2 tibetan bells
2 capos
brass slide
korg tuner
small contact pick-up

if anybody finds any of this they can call me here 312-492-9634 /

― bill stevens (bscrubbins), Friday, 25 June 2004 15:28 (twenty-one years ago)

pretty girls make graves shouldn't be allowed to exist

it's west coast, not necessarily SF. vancouver is where the most bands have got jacked. sonic youth got their infamous fukking in LA.

too many heroin addicts on the Left Coast.

Is it the 400? If so, how much did you pay for it?

― deanomgwtf!!!p%3Fmsgid%3D4581997 (deangulberry), Friday, 25 June 2004 15:33 (twenty-one years ago)

i stand corrected..

bands just need to start carrying guns with them. perhaps we could make this a picture thread. BANDS WIF GUNZ.

and since they're all hipster fuck ironic heroin addicts, they have to snatch gear from indie bands.

East Coast is more of a DATE RAPE VIBE.

when you go on tour, have a member sleep in the van every night. problem solved. (and yes, I know it's cold. but we did it even in sweden & norway... )

― benjo, Saturday, 26 June 2004 00:54 (twenty-one years ago)

doesn't that just make it more likely that your bandmates will come out in the morning and say "oh no! all our stuff! and they killed Benjo!"

― Gear! (Gear!), Saturday, 26 June 2004 01:18 (twenty-one years ago)

benjo means toilet in japanese
