So ive got a case of the cant-sleeps so i was reading up on craigslist and found this post linking to Matt Costa's blog. He played a show the other night in my city and apparently had ALL their gear stolen from the locked venue.
This makes me sick. Heres the post... Quote:
The following gear was stolen from The Garrick Center in WINNIPEG on February 16th:
We need your help. At some point between 11:30PM on Saturday, February 16th and 12Noon on Sunday, February 17th the following pieces of musical gear and equipment were stolen from the inside of The Garrick Centre in Winnipeg, MB. All of the items listed below belong to Matt Costa and/or members of his band, the items had been locked inside The Garrick Centre for overnight storage as this was reportedly safer than leaving them in our trailer on the streets of Winnipeg.
Matt Costa – Stolen Gear List
(Winnipeg’s Garrick Centre on 2/17/08)
1 each – Gibson J-45 Acoustic Guitar, Natural
1 each – Gibson ES335 Electric Guitar, Seafoam Blue
1 each – Epiphone EL-OO Acoustic Guitar, Sunburst, w/ Seymour Duncan Mag Mic Pickup
1 each – Fender Custom Shop Nocaster Relic Electric Guitar, Blonde
1 each – Fender Custom Shop 1963 Telecaster Relic Electric Guitar, Lake Placid Blue
1 each – 1953 Supro Lap Steel Guitar, Salmon Mother Of Pearl
1 each – Kentucky Mandolin, Sunburst
1 each – Fender Custom Shop 59’ Relic Precision Bass Blonde
1 each – Ashdown EVOII500 Bass Head w/ Road Case
1 each - 1973 Marshall Lead Bass 20 Guitar Head w/ Orange Anvil Case
1 each - Fulltone Tube Tape Echo, Black, w/ Road Case
1 each - Calzone Briefcase w/ Boss Tuner, Sans Amp & Three Monster Cables
1 each – Anvil Briefcase
1 each – Countryman D.I.
As you can see, much of the gear is nearly irreplaceable and has a great deal of sentimental value. There will be a substantial reward for anyone who provides information leading to the recovery of any of these items and that person’s identity will of course remain confidential.
Please contact James Fletcher or Chris Fenn w/ any information, (714) 813-1604, (949) 331.2349 or email: chris@mattcosta.com
Thanks in advance for your help

Ugh. I had my car broken into about 100 feet from that venue last month aswell. Hopefully they were able to make it back to the US/ get back on the tour. That sucks bigtime though.

An ES-335 in seafoam green? Man, that must look awesome. And of course it'll be easy to find the little snots decided to go to the pawn shops with this stuff.

Yeah. It really DID look awesome. I've been drooling over Matt's two Gibsons for quite some time now, and looking at my pictures from his gig two weeks ago is making me squirm. It just sucks so hard for him. |
