New Zealand indie outfit The Beths have become the latest group to be hit by gear theft. A fairly major one too \u2013 they\u2019ve lost some guitars, a bass and their entire backline \u2013 which was rented. <\/p>\n

Among the guitars that have been stolen are a rare Burns Club Series Double Six 12-string electric and a custom handmade guitar by Trent Guitars.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The band were in Tourcoing, in France on Monday, touring in support of their fourth album Straight Line Was A Lie, when the theft occurred from their van. The band have taken to Instagram and put an appeal out for information.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur guitars, bass guitar, cymbals, snare, and my pedal board were stolen last night from our van in Tourcoing in France, near Lille. Along with the entire rented backline,\u201d reads the post.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you see any of these instruments turn up on resale, or if you have any tips please get in touch – info@lookoutkid.com. We\u2019re pretty sad, these instruments have a lot of time and love in them. More than we can express really.\u201d<\/p>\n

The band have decided that the show will go on. They used borrowed equipment to play the show in Tourcoing and last night\u2019s gig in Paris. They still have another 13 shows on their current European tour.<\/p>\n
