Ottawa Pop Punk band METZ has had all of their gear stolen, while on tour in California, on their run of dates supporting Preoccupations. The items were stolen in Santa Clarita, near Los Angeles. This is less than a month after a similar robbery saw Russian Circles lost all of their gear to a roberry in the northern part of the state. A GoFundMe has been launched to replace the bands backline, as they are determined to not cancel the tour, their first in several years. In a little over a day since the fundraiser went live, $28,513 has been collected for the band. They also shared a message ansd a list of stolen gear on the page, so fans can help with the search. Even though a nice sum of money has been put together by supporters, it is especially trying for a DIY band to lose all of their gear so soon after several years with little to no income. Please give if you can, and good luck METZ!
