Pitchfork Festival's Iceage Guitars Stolen
Some sad news to start off Pitchfork coverage this weekend. Danish rockers Iceage's guitars were stolen yesterday in Wicker Park. Not only one of the highly anticipated acts at Pitchfork, the festival is also their first stop on their North American tour. If you see anyone with the guitars above or spot them in a pawn shop, please contact the police immediately, and also contact the band here. A more detailed description of one of the guitars is it's a mid '60s red Hagström Hag III. The middle and top pickups are not original, there is a sticker with a compass on the back of the guitar, and a big rip in the fretboard. Stolen equipment is always a shitty thing to deal with; here's hoping their guitars turn up soon.
