The Music Elitist

So in the last week and a half a band that I used to be in and a band that I have been a fan of for a long while both had equipment and/or vehicles stolen from them.

Miami hardcore band Poison the Well woke up a couple days ago to head to Chicago for the second date of their current tour, only find to find that someone had stolen their van and trailer which contained all their equipment and pretty much everything they owned.

T13C was getting some rest in Orlando last week in between recording sessions for their new record when someone broke into their van and trailer and stole about $10,000 worth of gear.

Neither of these bands have tons of dispensable cash on hand to just buy new equipment and vehicles when something like this happens. When you steal from a band you’re not only taking their possessions, you’re taking their livelihood as well. Both of these bands are incredibly hardworking and while I can’t speak for Poison the Well (having never met them), the guys in T13C are some of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. No band deserves to be stolen from.
