Hey friends, It's Elvis from Three Bad Jacks. Our band van was stolen with all of our musical equipment, band merchandise as well as months of touring merchandise back stock. The merchandise is what keeps the band going. They stole personal clothes, tools, microphones and stands. As many of you know most of this gear was newly purchased late 2023. We were excited to do national tours again. I spent years of work as well as my life saving putting the touring backline together. I took everything I earned from tours pre and post covid towards the band so we could have foundation to record and come and see you. It's impossible to put in words how emotionally exhausting this has been. I have been hoping for a miracle with hopes of getting our vehicle and gear back. Unfortunately Last week i was contacted by the Los Angeles Police department regarding our van. They found it completely gutted with not a single even a single item that was there before the theft. Not only did our lively hood get damaged. They made it a point to vandalize the vehicle in such a way that it would be extremely costly and hard to fix. After careful consideration and many requests from family, friends and fans I’ve decided to set up this go fund me in the hopes that we can recover any of what we lost. Anything helps at this point we’re just trying to get back on the road so that we can play shows to earn the money it will take to get the band back on track. This whole experience has been devastating and I’ve needed time to process the loss before making this post.
