That sucks. I can't believe they were staying in Long Island City, I can't even imagine what hotel they were in.

I just saw this on another site... it is a real shame. They seem to be playing anywhere and everywhere on this neverending tour of theirs.

I wasn't aware that they were still touring. Bad karma for the dickhead that stole their stuff.

They should find out who did this and string him up by his balls with a guitar string and beat him to a pulp.

I dont think there is a band around who hadnt their gear stolen at one time or another, I remember Sonic Youth had their gear stolen around 2000? Hopefully the stuff was insured.

I wouldnt give up hope entirely, sometimes these people make rounds of local shops and try to peddle the stuff off. We used to see them all the time around here trying to peddle tools, electronics etc(I work in LIC), not so much in the last year though. Im sure keeping an eye out for these guitars...

I remeber a couple years ago we met J when he was touring solo up the east coast in Chapel Hill. He was doing a show at Cats Cradle. We got there early to check out where the venue was and then we were going to grab a bit to eat. He was doing solo shows then and we saw him pull up in his (old) subaru station wagon. all the gear was in the back. I thought it was surprising yet cool that he would tour like that.

I'm sure it was not quite that open on this tour since it is with the band.

wow, didn't know this band was still together.
