Kill Hannah’s Van and Trailer stolen
I should make a new section on the website that just posts news about bands getting their vans & trailers stolen. This is becoming a pattern, well a pattern that has been happening for long time but a pattern nonetheless. More and more bands are getting their vans & trailers stolen, mostly in Philly. Here’s some advice, don’t stop in Philadelphia!! The latest victim is the band Kill Hannah, who I don’t know but after hearing their music on MySpace, maybe I should have kept it that way. About $120,000 worth of band equipment, merchandise and the van & trailer was stolen. YIKES. Shitty band or not, that’s gotta suck. And for all the bands out there, NEVER leave your van unattended! Especially in cities like Philly.
Yesterday morning Kill Hannah’s tour van was stolen, with the trailer full of instruments and equipment still attached. It happened in a Holiday Inn parking lot in South Philly, the same location that saw Mae’s trailer go missing last week. Kill Hannah lost everything but the clothes and toiletries they took inside for the night.
Details and a select list of stolen equipment are included below. Kill Hannah’s most ardent fans, the Kill Hannah Kollective, took the initiative to set up a relief paypal account, all contributions go towards replacing the band’s possessions: donations@killhannah.net

Kill Hannah is an awesome band. Almost all bands are suffering financially right now. This band has been touring for at least 7 years and have many fans, but at this point the economy is forcing cutbacks which unfortunately cause them to have less security, worse hotels and less insurance, fewer people at concerts, and even causing the loss of band members who leave to take more lucrative jobs. I doubt Kill Hannah was uninsured, they had some really excellent and unique equipment.
I heard one of their songs backing a car commercial the other day, “Under the Milky Way”, and it is a beautiful song, like “Lips Like Morphine” and “Crazy Angel”. I repeat, Kill Hannah is an awesome band. They are also one of the most fan-friendly bands out there, always taking the time to meet and thank their fans and street teamers. I hope their luck improves, and everyone donates to the address above.
