La Rocca's van and gear stolen in Philly

While immersed in CMJ nonsense, I almost missed an email alerting me to yet another Philly gear theft. This time the band is Ireland's La Rocca who recently toured with Phoenix, and whose new record is out on dangerbird (home of Silversun Pickups).

BIG PHIL STOLEN IN BIG BAD PHILLY
After a great show with Roman Candle and Birdmonster in Philadelphia last night, we came out of our hotel this morning to find Big Phil was gone, along with all of our equipment.

Naturally this is gonna put pay to our shows in D.C and North Carolina.... but on a bigger scale we've lost some stuff that's been with us since we were kids.

If anyone in the Philly area sees or gets offered anything suspicious that they think might once have been ours.. a lot of our stuff has LAROCCA stencilled on it.... let us know.

We'll keep you posted.

If you see ANY of the following instruments - or the van itself - please contact us ASAP. Thanks. Stolen in Philadelphia today (November 6, 2006)
