U.S. technical/progressive metal warriors ANIMALS AS LEADERS have sent this update as the bands house in Los Angelas, California was robbed as the band returned from a European tour. Last month on a north American tour, a member of ANIMALS AS LEADERS was arrested in Boston and charged with assaulting a cop as members and freinds of the band are contending those charges as police brutality.
FROM ANIMALS AS LEADERS:
Hey guys.
We've got some pretty terrible news to report. Upon returning home to our house in LA we discovered that we'd been robbed while were out on tour. The thieves were able to get away with Javier's Chevy Blazer and all of the equipment we didn't have on tour with us. 10 guitars in total. This includes many of our one of a kind custom instruments (Stranberg,Rick Toone ) as well as amplifiers, PA equipment and personal items.
This is beyond devastating. We know so many of you have been beyond supportive with Javier's legal troubles. We may need more of your help now to potentially find some of these one of a kind instruments that may pop up on Ebay, Craigslist, pawn shops, used music stores etc.
We're adding an album containing photos and detailed descriptions of the stolen gear to our profile. Please take a look and keep your eyes open for anything that looks close to this stuff. I truly think that with your help we have an exponentially better chance of tracking some of this down.If anyone has any information about any of this gear, please contact us at animalsgear@gmail.com. Please, keep it to messages containing leads on the stolen gear. Thanks!
Thanks,
Tosin, Javier
