Spirit of the Beehive had been on tour in support of their new album, You’ll Have to Lose Something, when they got to Seattle for a planned show at the Crocodile. While in the Seattle area, their van, trailer, gear, and merchandise were stolen, they wrote on social media. The trailer was located, but “it was virtually empty,” the band shared.
After losing their van and gear, Spirit of the Beehive have been forced to cancel the rest of their tour. The North American trek had been scheduled to stretch into November.
Spirit of the Beehive have said that they’ve lost “over $100,000 of gear and work,” and, to offset the losses, they’re launching a fundraiser on GoFundMe. The band is also asking people to keep an eye out for the stolen van, a navy blue 2012 Ford E-350 that has the license plate LTB3679.
