Mae's van & trailer was stolen. Playing NJ Saturday?

Last night Mae's van & trailer was stolen while parked at their hotel. Drummer Jacob Marshall says they are currently trying to make their way to Boston "to salvage the tour." Mae are scheduled to play School of Rock this Saturday. No word on whether or not this incident will effect that date. We'll keep you updated.

Mae just released (M)orning last month on their own Tooth and Nail imprint label, Cell Records. The group has partnered with DonorsChoose and Habitat For Humanity to raise money via selling their new album through their website WhatisMae.com. Mae has raised over $55,000 to date. Now its your turn to help Mae out, if you can spare anything, you can download their album for a donation here.

Update!

Hey everyone,

We awoke this morning in Philadelphia to discover that both our van and our trailer had been stolen from the parking lot of the hotel we were staying in. Needless to say, this was an absolutely devastating discovery! All of our instruments, equipment, merchandise, and many personal items are gone. This misfortune has fallen among many of our friends in the past and we suppose that after touring for 8 years this sort of thing is bound to happen. However, we will be finishing the remainder of the (a)fternoon Tour to the best of our ability! We have four dates left on our tour and will play the shows with the help of our friends in Deas Vail and Jenny Owen Youngs.

It's in these moments that our fans lift us up and remind us why we do what we do. We thank you for the immediate outpouring of love and support. If you would like to help us out, you can make a donation using the button below or by clicking here.

We love you!
