Madball Gear Stolen in New York

by | Jan 28, 2013

Madball had some gear stolen over the weekend in New York.

“We had some band equipment stolen this past weekend, including some of our guitars which are irreplaceable. If you’re a fan of Madball, or just someone who would like to help, please keep your eyes open for these guitars that we will post pictures of. Check your local guitar store, pawn shop, anywhere someone might look to turn these into cash. This happened in the NY area, so that’s the focus of our attention, but New Jersey, Connecticut, anywhere is a possibility. If you come across these, please contact us ASAP so we can pursue further action.”

Pictures of missing equipment have been posted on the band’s Facebook.
