Last week, Black Mountain were dealt a major blow, as the Vancouver rock titans were robbed of a huge chunk of gear in Gothenburg, Sweden. Since the devastating theft, the band have managed to carry on with their European tour thanks to borrowed gear, but they are now asking fans to help them get back on their feet.Black Mountain have launched a PledgeMusic campaign in efforts "to help us re-power our concerting suits," as the band put it. They add, "Once we have enough money to replace what we've lost (our goal is $20,000 USD), we'll donate the surplus to www.musiCares.org ."In exchange for donations, Black Mountain are offering an array of rewards — not to mention simply good karma. These include two previously unreleased B-sides from IV , T-shirts, a demo CD oftracks, signed records, concert ticks and more.You can get a full breakdown of rewards and donate to the campaign here You can see all the group's upcoming tour dates here and revisit the band's long list of stolen gear below.Guitars:Gibson Les Paul Standard 1978 wineburst guitar w/ case with Sheptone Heartbreaker pickups + 50s electronicsGibson SG GI Reissue Guitar w/ case with Lollar P90 pickup in bridgeSquire J Mascis Jazzmaster w/ case with Seymour Duncan pickups + 50s electronicsEffects Pedals in Roadmaster road case:Vox Clyde McCoy Wah WahFramptone Amp SwitcherBoss TU-3 Tuner PedalFulltone Supa Trem TremoloUnion Swindle DistortionZVex Super Duper Hard OnDiamond Memory Lane DelayDod PhasorFulltone Soul BenderElectro Harmonix Octave MultiplexerRobert Keeley Neutrino Auto WahVoodoo Lab Pedal Power Power SuppyGeorge L Patch CablesSennheiser EW 300 IEMTelefunken M80Ultimate Ear UE 7 ProUltimate Ear UE 900 ProIn hard case mounted on a board with Velcro (hard case labeled "THIAGO"):Akai MPC 1000Roland JP-08 KeyboardArt Stereo DI BoxGretsch 14" x 6.5" hand hammered brass snare drumKeyboards:Moog 'The Source' Synthesizer w/ Anvil flight caseManikin Memotron w/ custom wood chassis and Anvil flight caseKorg CX-3 (vintage model) in a custom wood caseModules & Pedals:Waldork Streichfett Synth ModuleHughes & Kettner Rotosphere MK II PedalElectro Harmonix Holy Grail Reverb PedalBoss Octave PedalBoss TV-2 Tuning PegalEletro Harmonix LBP-15 Spot Daisy Chain Adapter
