Our gear was stolen!!!! Help.
Over the past 6 years, Rivals has had its ups and downs… sometimes, like in today's case, the lows are EXTREMELY low. At around 1pm today someone cut the lock off of our trailer in front of our studio and stole about $4,000 of our gear.
Tom and I both lost a lot of our stuff, and I even lost my main guitar, a '92 custom Hohner Revelation that I have played at every Rivals show for over 5 years. It's one of my all-time favorite possessions and a key piece in my sound. This is a UNIQUE guitar and it would be easy to spot should someone try to sell it.
Pictures and a detail of everything we lost is below.
WE ARE OFFERING A SIGNIFICANT CASH REWARD FOR ANYONE WHO RETURNS ANY OF OUR GEAR. NO QUESTIONS ASKED.
If you would like to help our cause, there are a few things you can do:
1. Forward this message to your friends. Mention the cash reward. Maybe someone knows something. Maybe someone has seen our gear, or is trying to sell it.
2. Buy a CD from our Web site
All money from merch will go to replacing the lost gear in order to get us back to speed.

3. Come to a show. The more friends that come out and support, the closer we can get to raising the money we need. The next one is March 1 @ the Caravan in San Jose.
We are hurt by this incredible loss, especially because money cannot replace the sentimental value some of our gear carried.
This small side step will not keep Rivals down and we will continue as strong as ever, very soon.
Thank you for being a part of our family and all of us SINCERELY appreciate all of your efforts, however small.
If you have ANY info or can help in any way, please call Zack at 408-710-5381, or email
