Ivan & Alyosha Embark on a Fundraiser Because Some Asshole Stole Their Gear.

The Victims.

You may remember a May 28th post I made celebrating Ivan & Alyosha's latest tour and their first full-length album after years and years of bandhood. Well, back on June 10th, someone in Atlanta liked them so much that they stole their van, and dumped it, sans gear and trailer. If you live in Atlanta, they posted a well-designed gear list and a plea that you check out area pawn shops and eBay/Craigslist for any of it. You should. Some big ass companies pitched in, and they setup a fundraiser with Kickstarter knockoff Pledge Music, because having all your gear stolen sucks. And to show us they are not fucking around, they added even more tour dates:

8/9 - San Diego, CA @ Humphreys Concerts By The Bay*
8/10 - Anaheim, CA @ House of Blues Anaheim*
8/11 - Los Angeles, CA @ The Troubadour
