Dear friends, family, acquaintances, fellow musicians, and especially music lovers,
The Mary Hart Attack is in deep mourning. On April 23, 2016, we found out that our rehearsal room was robbed. Eighty percent of our instruments and gear were stolen. An extension of our body has been taken from us. The police was informed, and now you too.
DIY to DIWYS
As a band we stick to the DIY-philosophy (Do It Yourself). But sometimes DIY isn’t enough. Now we count on you! Given the situation we are now as a DIWYS-band (Do It With Your Support).
The probability that we find our material is small. We have to get over it. How painful it might be. We are in a very bad financial situation at the moment. The deficit runs up to around 12.000 euro. We are talking about a professional drumkit, very good cymbals, terrific amps, unique pedals …
We need money. It is as simple as that. Every contribution is important to us. 5 or 500 euros? You see what you can do. We didn’t have an insurance. We didn’t expect something like this would happen. We are licking our wounds right now. You can support us financially. Above you can enter a free gift. Below you can support us while we make you happy with perks. Check them out!
We plan a benefit gig. We are looking for a convenient moment and venue! We hope somewhere in June.
Here are the various options to support us financially:
Keep your eyes open. We have a lot of information on our stolen instruments and gear. We have an inventory. Click here to view the inventory, serial numbers and photos. If you see our gear on a market or on second hand channels (online and offline) then email all useful information to themaryhartattack@gmail.com
Despite everything, we keep our heads up. Even though we feel practically decapitated.
Thanks for your support
Kristof, Will and Kris
