Bible of the Devil got robbed in Austin this past Sunday night, May 24th, before we left town. All of the guitars, luggage, a ton of merch, snare and cymbals were stolen out of the Jeep Cherokee we were borrowing since we had flown in to do just the three shows in TX. The thieves smashed the vehicle's window and cleaned us out, plain and simple. We will have a list and serial numbers out hopefully soon but tell any and all Austin people you know to keep and eye out for:

-Mark's 2004 Alpine White(naturally faded yellowish) Gibson Flying V.  Lightning bolt guitar strap.  Custom Gibson 'Dirty Fingers' bridge pickup.

-Nate's 2004 Faded Cherry Red Gibson Flying V with EMG pickups (also has crescent moon inlays)
Both are in SKB Flying V flight cases with B1 and B2, respectively, in reflective stickers on them.

-Darren's early 90's G&L SB-2 Bass Black with Black Pick-guard and Maple Neck. P and Jazz bass style pickups. Serial number B022197
In a Gator brand flight case with B3 in reflective stickers. Also "VALKYRIE" sticker on the case, sculpted headstock, no bump, Leo Fender signature on head stock and notch in the middle. Also belt rash chip out of the back paint.

Greg's Trick Percussion Snare Dark Blue with black hardware. Aluminum. in snare case.

Gregs Cymbals Ride, 2 crashes, hi-hats in a case.

Updates to follow soon.

We are also keeping our ears out for people selling music gear cheap, of course! Somebody somewhere can't keep all this cool gear secret!

That beyond BLOWS. I'm so sorry! That is terible. I hope you either get your gear back or insurance covers the loss, I understand you can't put a price on emotional attachment... :-( Hope to see you in Wichita soon!

That sucks.  We had an Ampeg bass head stolen from us a year ago by either a band or a friend of a band.  Hope you find your shit!

someone emailed me to say:

You really need to be visiting the pawn shops on East 7th st over the
next couple days. Also another one to check is corner of Lamar and
Barton springs...it gets a lot of musical gear in all the time. Good
hunting.

so please check those places if you are able to.

Whoever did that is totally gay. Hopefully they will meet their fate in a Charles Bronson style vigilante murder.

Man, we hate to hear that happened, especially in our city. We'll do our best to put the word out to the locals & keep an eye out for your gear. If you haven't already, report those serial numbers to APD and they'll be flagged at all area pawn shops. Fucking low-life thieves.
