Camper's gear stolen
This just in from the hard luck folks in Camper Van Beethoven, who will be in town Friday the 28th at the 40 Watt, and incidently had their gear stolen in Montreal a short while back:
There is a $1,000 reward for the return of the gear or information that leads to the return of the gear.
The Tour for New Roman Times is still ON. Come on out and see our new, begged, and borrowed gear. David Lowery is sponsored by the great folks at Ibanez lets see if they have any guitars left. Around 1 p.m. Eastern on Jan. 18 we got word that someone in Dallas stole their gear again. The band was staying at the Comfort Suites - and they even had a security guard. The trailer was backed up against a parking deck wall so the doors would not open. The thieves cut through the side of the trailer and helped themselves....
