MASSIVE THEFT HURTS GREAT INDEPENDENT LABEL



The Budos Band


On Monday, February 16, Daptone Records' studio in Brooklyn, NY was broken into and robbed. Unfortunately, lots of valuable equipment was stolen and damaged. Daptone Records is asking for everyone's help in keeping an eye out for the stolen stuff showing up on ebay/craigslist/local music shops, and secondly (and more realistically) keeping an eye out for good deals on headphones, mics, pre-amps, etc.



Daptone is the home of Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, The Budos Band, Menahan Street Band and more. They help keep funk and soul a vibrant thing and deserve any help our readers can provide in resolving this matter.



List of Missing Gear:



Fender Super Guitar Amp in case
Fender Deluxe Guitar Amp
A whole bunch of headphones and wires
Nydia's HP laptop computer
One Desktop MacIntosh Computer
One Purple Audio API style lunchbox with four Purple Audio Biz mic pre-amps
2 Yamaha NS10 monitors
Vintage Harmony Rocket Guitar
One steel string acoustic guitar
Martin Tenor sax in a gig bag
