Someone in Texas stole Camper Van Beethoven's gear! - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I really like Camper Van Beethoven, and it turns out that someone in Texas stole much of their gear... and this is gear that was replacing the gear stolen from them a couple months ago! So, I guess keep an eye out for people trying to unload the gear described in this link:

Oh, and perhaps you could let them borrow something to play with for a show. Wouldn't that be cool?

On the home page only half the title shows so I read "Someone in Texas stole Camper.." and thought "Why the hell is he posting about a camper in Music?"

Asta!!

Wait a minute... aren't you a resident of Texas? Why don't you give them back their stuff, you thief? You're trying to play it off all cool, like "oh, I didn't know anything about this!" I'm turning you in, and collecting my $1000 reward. Sorry, but the gig is up.

I read that they parked the semi with the back door against a wall... the only thing is, the people who stole their stuff actually cut a hole into the side of the semi.

They did mention something about having their website guy sleep with the gear now.

The last time was in Montreal? They must have a lot of gear-stealin' going on, the same thing happened there to The Moldy Peaches... here are some lyrics Kimya Dawson (of the Moldy Peaches) wrote about it in the song "Anthrax":

Maybe they are getting their gear "stolen" so they can claim the insurance...
Maybe it was those damned skinheads...

Man, they keep getting jacked left and right. Sucks to see a great band that was broken up for so long get back together only to get fucked over repeatedly.

I had no idea they were still around anymore anyway. That suck for them, maybe they'd feel better if they took some skinheads bowling.
