Phosphorescent Gear Stolen 2010-07-11 by Skimaskcheck | 19 Comments | Following their first show of a planned 6 week tour in support of their new album Here’s To Taking It Easy, Phosphorescent have been robbed of $40,000 worth of equipment in Greenpoint, Brooklyn on Thursday night.
Included in the theft were frontman Matthew Houck’s irreplaceable 1955 Gibson ES-125, their drum kit, bass rig, amps, effects pedals, rented van, and stock of merchandise.
The band and their label, Dead Oceans, are offering a $5,000 reward for the gear's return, and a $1,000 reward for tips leading to its return. Additionally, a PayPal account has been set-up allowing donations to be made (phosphorescentgearfund@gmail.com).
