Local Band Loses Thousands In Music Equipment Following Studio Break-In

Off the back of yesterday's theft in Brisbane, which got resolved thanks to some solid sleuthing from the Queensland music community, local Central Coast band Elliot The Bull have revealed they headed home from a holiday to find their studio broken into and missing thousands of dollars worth of instruments.

The alt-rock quartet have lost a number of guitars, including a Fender American Telecaster Deluxe guitar (with a large crack down the back of its neck), a black Epiphone EJ200CE acoustic guitar, a black spray-painted Epiphone "Tom Delonge" Signature ES-333 semi-hollowbody guitar, a Strymon Mobius guitar pedal, Yamaha STAGEPAS 300 all-in-one PA system and a Fender Stratocaster copy with a black scratch plate. 

A friend of the alt-rock quartet has started a GoFundMe campaign to help the band out, having raised $1,645 of the target $5,000 in five days.

A statement posted to the GoFundMe page reads, "These guys have spent every spare cent they have earned on acquiring musical equipment over the last 10 years. They live and breathe music and it is heartbreaking to see these things taken from them.

"They have just finished recording a new record and were in process of planning a tour later this year to promote it."
