Dear friends - in life, with great highs always come great lows. We embarked on an incredible tour a few short weeks ago with the always awesome Motion City Soundtrack. Playing music we love to packed crowds has been an unbelievable blessing. We have met some amazing people in this journey so far!
The downside to that is in every city there are a few unsavory individuals who know just how to turn things upside down in a negative way. Unfortunately in Orlando, those people found us. We awoke from our hotel to find the lock on our trailer cut and a mass of musical gear was stolen- Around $20,000 worth. Needless to say we are pretty shocked and devastated.
Like most responsible musicians, we reported the incident to the police. We were banking on insurance to cover the loss but due to special circumstances our claim was denied. Something that's supposed to be there for us as, a fail safe, in times of need has...well, failed us.
We find ourselves in a tough spot. As a band who's always worked hard for everything that we've got, it breaks our hearts to have to ask for help. But sometimes we need to humble ourselves and reach out to our support system to pick us back up. We're in a really difficult spot right now, so if you could at all find it in your hearts to help out the band, we'd greatly appreciate it. If you'd like to chip in, below are a few ways you can be a part of the solution.
We have set up this GoFundMe to replace our stolen gear. If you feel inclined to donate, you can do so here. Every person who donates will get a personal message or call from the band as a thank you.
We know that while you might want to help, you're not always financially in the place to do so. We get it! You can still help by spreading the word and sharing this post. Every extra person who sees it is one step closer to us getting back on our feet.
Thanks so much for your love and support during this difficult time. It's never easy being away from friends and family, but the dedication of our fans makes us feel blessed even in moments like these. We know we'll pull through this together, and will be a stronger unit because of it. Hope you all are safe and happy, and thank you for taking the time to read this post.
