Hey everyone,

We awoke this morning in Philadelphia to discover that both our van and our trailer had been stolen from the parking lot of the hotel we were staying in. Needless to say, this was an absolutely devastating discovery! All of our instruments, equipment, merchandise, and many personal items are gone. This misfortune has fallen among many of our friends in the past and we suppose that after touring for 8 years this sort of thing is bound to happen. However, we will be finishing the remainder of the (a)fternoon Tour to the best of our ability! We have four dates left on our tour and will play the shows with the help of our friends in Deas Vail and Jenny Owen Youngs.

It's in these moments that our fans lift us up and remind us why we do what we do. We thank you for the immediate outpouring of love and support. If you would like to help us out, you can make a donation using the button below or by clicking here.

We love you!

Several years ago my brother's band had the exact same thing happen to them: thousands of dollars worth of equipment and years and years of collecting pieces were gone overnight.  So, needless to say, I know exactly how I'll be praying and feeling for you guys!  It's in situations like these when WE can come out and repay you for all you've given US over the years.  I hope you boys are extraordinarily blessed by those you come in contact with, and that the remainder of your tour dates are awesome.  (In these crazy times and situations, borrowed guitars & sound systems are sweeter than they ever seemed before.)

*hug from a longtime VA fan*

Dudes, that is awful. It would break my heart to lose all my gear. I'll ship you guys a guitar if you need one. It'd be the least we could do for all the years of non-stop rock you've poured into our minds.

They were upset that the Phillies lost, and being rowdy Philadelphia sports fans, that's how they are lol. I'm sure you guys will still do great!

I hate it when things like this happen, but it give all of us a chance to give back to you guys and show you that people care. Care about you guys and what happens to you but also about the people in the world that are driven to do this type of thing.

You are in my prayers.

If you guys are heading back torward Norfolk you guys can borrow my drum kit for the rest of the tour.  It's not quite as nice as your kit jacob but it's not too shabby.  PDP Z5 plus basic Ziljian Cymbals.

I'm ashamed of my city for this happening :(   I hope the rest of the shows go well!  I'm sure God will provide for you.  Sad to see people judging Philly and saying it's such a bad place and the people are bad because of this incident carried out by presumably just a few people.  Yeah Philly is a place you have to watch your back but there are plenty of decent people there and in the surrounding area who appreciate and respect great bands like Mae.

..Why do I live in this city again?

In all seriousness, this is devastating to hear. You guys have done so much this year through your music. I am happy to help by donating to help you recover from this. No band deserves it more!..
