Katatonia robbed in Minnesota 2010-09-20 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 36 Comments |
Swedish metal act Katatonia had two guitars and wireless transmitters stolen from a gig in Minnesota's Twin Cities on Saturday.
The band issued the following statement: "Unfortunately tonight's gig reached an all time low. Two of our guitars got stolen (including our straps with wireless transmitters), obviously causing performance difficulties, frustration and anger.
"Then against all odds, further technical problems kept on coming down one after another during the show. Apologies goes out to our fans in Minnesota for having to go through this."
The band had planned to give away the two guitars as part of competitions running in conjunction with the tour. Fans are encouraged to keep an eye out in pawn shops and on Craigslist for the stolen items.

Not cool man.
|

How lame, especially to do it to these guys, like they weren't depressed enough already.
|
| |
Yeah wtf
Can we at least get a police report to see what kind of guitars and wireless systems were stolen?
|
| |
Another reason to hate the Minnesota metal scene.
|
| |
sucks
|
| |
"like they weren't depressed enough already."

My Dolphins laying the smack down probably didn't help matters.

Didn't this already happen to them once before?
Anyways, dick move. Band is quality.

"Roaming through Montana with two travel days ahead and we just wanna encourage everybody already to help us keep an eye out for the guitars on pawn shops, craigslist, ebay etc etc and let us know immediately if they show up. Pictures of the Mayones guitars can be seen in the give away competition ad here, yes thats rig...ht, the thief/thieves actually stole the guitars we were gonna give to you, our fans at the end of this tour."

I'm willing to bet it was in St. Paul rather than Minneapolis. Probably the south side if I had to guess.
|
| |
hope they catch the fuckers
|
| |
Me too man, didn't this happen to Chevelle last year, except with a whole trailer of their stuff? I wonder what ever happened with that...

I feel so sorry for them.
|

Fuck, they come to America after 3 years and this shit happens? Really blows.

Oh, and they were going to give the guitars away to some fans. How shitty.

That's super lame.
At least they aren't asking there fans to donate money, like every other band...
