Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Burglarized

Currently in Europe doing promo for their new record, Los Angeles based rockers Black Rebel Motorcycle Club experienced a bit of misfortune recently, when some of their personal gear was burglarized from their storage locker in Hollywood. 

On their blog, they explain the situation: "The band's personal storage locker was broken into and Michael Been's (Robert's dad and our sound man) had his vintage equipment stolen. Items were 1954 Fender Esquire (Yellow with Black Pick Guard), 1968 Ampeg Scrolltop Fretless Bass, 1964 Black Fender Precision Bass and a 1968 Gretsch Country Gentleman Single Cutaway. Please repost this and help spread the word - these items were extremely personal and the band, Michael, crew and management are devastated over this brazen act. Thank you."

Thankfully, this occurrence will not affect their upcoming run of tour dates.
