In a posting published today, June 28th, 2012, in the official message board of the band, Ozric Tentacles’ bassist, Brandi Wynne, reported that Ozric Tentacles lost its archives, photos, masters, studio equipment, artwork, many musical instruments and other valuables. The band was on tour at the time and was not able to return on time to evacuate its belongings.

“We were really having fun making those posh re-releases with all kinds of new images and bonus material, but all that is going to be a lot harder to find now,” said Brandi Wynnes. She asked music fans for help in rebuilding their archives. “I was thinking to maybe open a P.O. Box, where if people have old photos or recordings or various other mementos collecting dust they think we should have, then perhaps they could send them on when they have the time.”

Ozric Tentacles has created this email account: ozricmadsummermeltdown@gmail.com for anyone who wants to send messages, digi images, or audio. The band is also asking for information on building houses, preferably sustainable. Ozric Tentacles is also seeking studio gear available.

Ozric Tentacles is one of the leading space rock bands of the last three decades. In 2008 they relocated from England to the Fort Collins area of Colorado (United States of America).
