Neon Indian/VEGA Stolen Gear
Every time I read one of these stories, my blood broils and I want to start fighting crime in a Charles Bronson Death Wish kind of way, or maybe an Out for Justice Steven Seagal kind of way. The point is, that these people suck and any help is much appreciated.
VEGA/NEON INDIAN’S GEAR WAS JUST STOLEN TODAY IN SACRAMENTO! HELP US FIND IT!!!
This just came in from Alan (VEGA/Neon Indian)–
As you may have heard, all of our touring (and much of the recording gear) was stolen during our stay at the Residence inn Marriot in downtown Sacramento. We implore for you to send this list around to anyone you may know in the area or if you have any ideas that could lead to finding or replacing any of it I’d love to hear it.
