This is terrible news, of course, both for MW&C and Detroit. But it's also part of what at this point is nearly an epidemic - Dinosaur, Jr., The Decemberists, The Derek Trucks Band, Rosie Thomas, Brian Jonestown Massacre, and the Raveonettes are just a few of the artists who have had to endure the five finger discount in the last year or so.
What the hell is going on?
Obviously, if you know who lifted Men, Women & Children's gear, or if you're around town and see someone trying to unload a Bogner Shiva combo amp for cheap, contact Anna, the band's representative, immediately at [email protected].
