BCR 2000 Rotary Midi Controller
Power Adapted for an Akai APC-40 Controller

If you have any information leading to the finding or replacing of this gear dont hesitate contact either my manager Danny (mgmt.vcr at gmail.com)or myself (vega.vcr at gmail.com). Time is of the essense given the VEGA Grizzly Bear show in NYC and the countless touring dates for both Neon Indian and VEGA beginning early september right around the corner so keep your eyes pealed. If you have a blog or know someone to send this off too, please repost. If you'd like to donate any money to help us return home and begin sorting this out you can do so to vega.vcr@gmail.com. Thank you for reading.

that's horrible. i'm really sorry. last fall, i had my main guitar stolen out of my house during an afterparty for one of our shows (obviously that can't compare to losing all of your gear) but i know how devastating it is. i was able to file a homeowners insurance claim though (maybe you can do that with your gear).  really hope you can recover your stuff (definitely try contacting pawn shops and music stores in the area and give them the list as a heads up if someone comes in to try to sell it). i'd also check craigslist religiously. good luck. -sivan

Shit.... I can't believe that... Do you have the serial numbers? The best of wishes to you guys! I'd give to the cause, but I'm a starving college student.

This must be how Crystal Castles felt when you guys "stole" some of their special beers, huh? (JK- although this is no joking matter.)

Good luck I'm sorry to hear that. You should check craigslist 24/7 for any of these things in the sacramento/california area.

I'm so sorry to hear that! This must have happened literally the night after we met at the 101. I hope you're able to get your stuff back!

FUCK THAT MAN! I know how much it sucks, I got my TB-303 and Minimoog stolen on one occasion, and then my microKorg (not much, but I had programmed that fucking thing from scratch) stolen on another occasion, but man that list almost brought me to tears.

good luck dude. damn.
