Norma Jean loses some gear to home robbery

Norma Jean reports that the home of frontman Cory Brandan's brother, Matt Putnam, was recently robbed. Among the items taken was Norma Jean's bass gear, in addition to one of their older drum sets. Here's the official word from Cory:

"Very recently, a really sad individual broke into the house of my brother and his family and robbed them. A lot of music equipment was taken including a drum set used during very early Norma Jean days. "Besides the kit being taken we lost all our bass gear, Matt's other drum set, a lot of other miscellaneous equipment and countless personal items. "Some really cool friends of ours put up a place to donate to at least replace Matt's drums. If you have a couple bucks and want to help him out, here's the place. Thanks!"
