Hammy, glammy locals Kill Hannah are the latest victims of a ring of thefts plaguing bands touring through Philadelphia. The Chicago group’s van and equipment were stolen from a Holiday Inn yesterday, just a week after the same thing happened to Virginia band Mae. Read the whole sad story here, along with a list of newly-missing instruments. A similar rash of robberies plagued the City of Brotherly Love just a few years ago, afflicting acts like Film School and Chicago’s own Ambulette (at this point, Philly promoters probably wish they could blame the Yankees for this one). No strangers to adversity, this marks another major setback for the Kill Hannah clan, following last year’s devastating tour bus fire in Europe. Though KH was forced to cancel tonight’s tour-closing concert in NYC with Papa Roach and Jet, the group will play its annual New Heart for Xmas shows, which at this point we’d suggest renaming New Gear for Xmas.
