Help Spirit of the Beehive Recover Stolen Gear

Donation protected
UPDATE: we cannot thank you all enough! we are forever grateful to anyone who has donated, shared or offered assistance in anyway. we have hit the original goal to replace our gear in only a few days and the amount of love and kind words that we have received in that time is humbling. as many of you may have seen, yesterday our van was found, impounded and then restolen from the impound lot. we have filed a second police report for that theft and are working to get more information about what happened.

we are also setting a secondary goal to factor in the costs of paying our crew, merch invoices for stolen merch and personal items. we love and appreciate you all!

hey yall, this is corey from the band spirit of the beehive. we are on tour in seattle and woke up this morning to the horrifying realization that our van + trailer which contained all of our gear and merch was stolen last night, despite being fully padlocked and booted. we got hit about as hard as you can get hit. they took deej & shrim.

after a day of running around seattle, we tracked down our trailer but found that it was virtually empty (they left our tote bags, hats, one guitar amp and the bass cab). the van and remaining gear/merch have still not been tracked down. among the things stolen from the trailer was our ableton rig, laptop and hard drives which had all of our live show files + recording files on them. as a result we will have to cancel the remainder of our tour and are suffering extensive monetary loss.

if you have ever seen us you know that we are a band that uses and travels with a lot of gear. our van itself is insured and we are hoping to recoup some of that cost, but the trailer & gear are not. the estimated total loss between gear, merch, crew costs, travel expenses/rental to get home & lost income from show cancellations is over 6 figures.

there are a lot of people that need help right now, and while it is uncomfortable to have to ask for support we frankly have no other choice. we are setting up this gofundme to get our people home and recoup some semblance of what we have lost.

IF YOU ARE IN THE SEATTLE AREA: Please keep an eye out for our 2012 Navy Blue Ford E350 XL - License Plate LTB3679 and any of the gear in the itemized list below. we will upload what pictures we have of our gear.

thank you, we love you
