Wrong'em Boyo

The Raveonettes have just had their van and a significant amount of their equipment stolen in NYC this past week, including Sune Rose Wagner's cherished Jazzmaster (pictured right). This was taken from the band's online journal from their website:

GEAR STOLEN!!
Date: October 10, 2005

We are completely devastated. Oct. 7 in Brooklyn, NYC. So much has been lost, but these 4 listed underneath are truly the things that matter to us... like Wagner's Jazzmaster from 1961 that he has lived & traveled with, played & written on for the past 12 years. And Sharin's beloved Gretsch from 1965.

If you see or hear anything about these 2 guitars and 2 basses please email us immediately on info@theraveonettes.com and you will be rewarded beyond your wildest dreams.

Yours,
Sharin & Sune

Please help the band out if you can. I especially know how much that Jazzmaster means to Sune so I know this is killing him inside. What a sucky thing to have to happen to anybody, let alone my Fave Raves.

Anyway, in other potentially less-sucky news, I'm going out with Tom today to look at more properties. Wish me lots of storage space and no water damage.
