NEW ORLEANS (AP) - A local New Orleans funk band says their equipment has been stolen near a popular bar in the city’s Uptown area.
News outlets report the New Orleans Suspects said in a Facebook post Sunday that their equipment was taken from their van while it was parked around the corner from the Maple Leaf Bar.
The band set up a GoFundMe page to raise money to replace the gear. The group listed some of the items it lost on the fundraising site including keyboards, guitar amps and a custom drum kit.
The Suspects began playing together in 2009 and features members who’ve been a part of groups such as The Neville Brothers and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. The band is booked to play at the Maple Leaf on Aug. 4.
