As Blood Runs Black robbed in Oakland

Los Angeles, CA metal band As Blood Runs Black had some valuable gear stolen from their van last night while they briefly watched an Emmure and Volumes show in Oakland, CA. Among the items taken were laptops, cameras, and an iPad. Here's the official word:
"After last nights recording session as some of us were getting ready to head home and others to another hotel we walked across the street to check out a show at the Oakland Metro for about an hour and when we came out the vehicle we been traveling in was broken into. Some asshole stole all our laptops, hard drives, cameras, iPad, and luggage. Who steals dirty underwear?!? We did what any normal person would do and hid everything from eye site, the windows were tinted, and there was a security guard in the parking lot when we went inside. Surprisingly they left the guitars which we are using today to track the remainder of the album. We find it odd that our vehicle was the only one singled out and this happened in an open parking lot with people around with quite a bit of stuff stolen. If you or someone you know was at the Emmure Volumes show last night in Oakland and hear or know of anything please get in contact. Doing our best to finish the remainder of the album with what wasn't taken. GROUND ZERO ?#?cursed"
As you may recall, last weekend Rotting Out and No Bragging Rights were also victims of theft while in Oakland.

wow dang another vehicle broken into while no one was watching it. i guess shitty bands will just never learn :)

I hope they were smart enough to try and track the iPad. Hope they recover some of the stuff though. We all like music, but the industry blows.

I am I the only one to catch "we been"....? Something is def running black...seems like this band.

anonymous 3/27/2014 5:54:06 PM

Jesus Christ stop leaving stuff unattended! All these bands getting robbed is terrible but the majority of the time they just lock the van doors and walk away. NEVER assume your stuff is safe no matter where you are. It's really not hard.

anonymous 3/27/2014 6:18:13 PM

Bring the mother fckin' ruckus!

anonymous 3/27/2014 6:37:01 PM

Actually I don't know anyone that was at an Emmure/Volumes show because I'm not friends with doorknobs.

Dumbasses. You don't hide things from sight, you take them with you. Thats just how it is in the bay, has been for years

anonymous 3/27/2014 8:48:17 PM

This will delay their album another 6 years

tough break, hopefully you bros can still make my party! PARENTS ARE OFFICIALLY GONE!!!! --Ken Susi

Getting robbed in the hood...................... .....GASP. Keep your stuff on you, or keep one dude in the van. A van is a dead giveaway there's gear inside.

anonymous 3/27/2014 9:56:04 PM

Sounds like the hood already knows whats up with white vans parked outside of the Metro, big time loot.

anonymous 3/27/2014 11:11:40 PM

The metro... aka the atm

anonymous 3/27/2014 11:49:18 PM

i guess they didn't know that oakland is the home of raiders

Who steals dirty underwear??

If I ever get the urge to legally murder someone, I'm just going to go on "tour" to exceptionally shitty cities like Oakland and park next to rock venues, then stay up all night in the van with a semi-auto shotgun ready to rip. Then...we wait. Total motherfvckin' Rambocore on these bitch-ass gankers.

anonymous 3/28/2014 7:59:39 AM

Sounds like one of the bands or the staff at the club ripped you off to me. It's a lot easier to take your computer out of your van and walk away with it instead of your guitars.

anonymous 3/28/2014 3:33:40 PM

publicity stunt. more indiegogo campaigns to come.

anonymous 3/29/2014 8:20:40 AM

Did the band not get the memo that they were in gaytown USA?
