Anberlin's trailer broken into, gear stolen
Alternative Press - Tim Karan on 11/9/09 @ 9:22 AM - altpress.com
Over the weekend, Anberlin had their trailer broken into while the members of the band were on their bus during their tour with Taking Back Sunday and the All-American Rejects. According to a tweet by frontman Stephen Christian, a bass rig and monitor system were stolen. Instead of asking for donations, however, Christian asked that fans instead donate to Mae, who had their van, trailer, gear and merch stolen last week at a show in Philadelphia. Christian's tweet said, "tonight trailer got broken into.stole bass rig/monitor system. crazy thing is we were parked in the bus when happened! forget us/donate2mae!"
