Pitchfork

As a rule, people just shouldn't fuck with dinosaurs-- not even junior ones. Sometimes, however, bad, bad thieves break the rules and steal gear from Dinosaur Jr.'s trailer, which just plain sucks. Them's the breaks, but they shouldn't be.

The incident took place last night outside of Dino Jr.'s Long Island City, New York hotel. A list detailing all the missing instruments and equipment is being passed along via Internet-- view it by clicking "MORE". If you or anyone you know has information regarding the whereabouts of the gear, please contact Bart Dahl here. There has been no word of any show cancellations.
