Like countless bands before them, the Most Serene Republic have become victims of theft in Vancouver. Following their show at the city's Biltmore Cabaret, the Arts & Crafts-signed outfits says they had "an ample amount of gear stolen," something that's obviously bad news considering they're only midway through their current North American tour.
Over the band's MySpace, the band have given a detailed - and unfortunately long - list of all the gear that was stolen. You can see that list here, and if you have any information at all, you're urged to contact chris@arts-crafts.ca.
The Most Serene Republic have not cancelled any dates as a result of the theft, and the band's next show is tonight (September 28) in Spokane, WA.
