Just got this from Bryan Scary's label.......HUGE drag for the band, especially with releasing one of THE best, most challenging albums of the year. If anyone can help or has ideas on how to proceed, get in touch with David at: drsterngreene@mac.com ++++++++ Hello Friends,   Tragedy has struck Bryan Scary & The Shredding Tears. Our van, trailer, and all of our instruments were stolen the other night in Los Angeles. The band is stuck in L.A., and we're in desperate need of your help.   Adding insult to injury, the insurance company is refusing to help replace our gear. We're still waiting to hear back about coverage for the van and trailer.   Among the stolen instruments was my 42-year-old drum set. My grandfather passed-away before I had a chance to meet him, but he played on that kit. Needless to say, I'm devastated.   Please find it in your heart to help us out. I set up a paypal account to receive donations for the band. Please go to www.paypal.com , click on "send money" at the top, and the receiving account email is bauer_brian@yahoo.com . There is also a donation button at www.myspace.com/bryanscary .   Thank you so much.   Love,   Brian Bauer of BSST
