A Place To Bury Strangers Van Stolen

12/13/2010
. (Mute) A Place To Bury Strangers were midway through a three week long, 18 show tour across Europe when on Friday 12/3 their van, a Mercedes Sprinter Splitter van with British plates R965HSG, was stolen in Rome, Italy outside the BlackoutClub from the venue's parking lot.

The band's gear was safe in the venue, but 1000 Euros in merchandise money, plus a lot of merchandise, all of their suitcases and clothes, bassist Dion Lunadon's New Zealand Passport & Green Card, the band's Macbook Pro laptop and numerous personal items and various other gear were in the van at the time of the theft.

The items stolen from the van were worth over $15K, not including the excess van rental charges, plane fare, Passport fees, cancelled shows, etc. They have set up a paypal link for donations. Any donation, no matter how small, will be of great help. Their friends/former tour-mates in Holy f*** were kind enough to donate a download of the APTBS remix of their track "Red Lights"to thank fans who donate. Each person who donates will be e-mailed a link to download the remix. You may donate here
