Nick Moss & The Flip Tops - Benefit Show for Stolen Gear!

Scheduled to play the Ottawa Blues Festival last weekend in Ottawa, Ontario Canada, blues guitarist Nick Moss and his band The Fliptops had their van and all their gear stolen from the parking lot of their hotel sometime during the morning of July 5th, 2008. Although the parking area was supposed to be under surveillance, the film in the camera had not been replaced, so no photos of the crime are available to police, making it unlikely that the idiots that did this will ever be caught.

A "blues benefit" has been organized for September 7, 2008 at the Milwaukee Ale House in Milwaukee WI to help raise funds for the band to buy some new gear. Moss and the Flip Tops will perform, of course, along with friends like Rev. Raven & the Chain Smokin' Alter Boys, Perry Weber & the DeVilles, Billy Flynn, Jim Liban, and other special guests.

We have a list of the equipment that was stolen from Moss and the Flip Tops [PDF link here]. Anybody that has any information about this crime is urged to contact Moss either through the artist's website or through Blue Bella Records.
