If you have any information leading to the finding or replacing of this gear don't hesitate contact either my manager Danny (mgmt.vcr@gmail.com) at 817 658 0795 or myself (vega.vcr@gmail.com) at 940 595 5185. Time is of the essence given the VEGA Grizzly Bear show in NYC and the countless touring dates for both Neon Indian and VEGA beginning early September right around the corner so keep your eyes pealed. If you have a blog or know someone to send this off too, please repost. If you'd like to donate any money to help us return home and begin sorting this out you can do so to vega.vcr@gmail.com (PAY PAL ACCOUNT). Thank you for reading.

Even though you don't hear it, there is always sound.
