Katatonia, the band named after a lollipop flavor, had some bad luck. Their guitars got stolen.
“Unfortunately the gig reached an all-time low. Two of our guitars got stolen (including the straps and the wireless transmitters), obviously causing performance difficulties, frustration and anger.“
It’s not all bad, though. They had a competition where you could win a guitar and some pickups. Alex has a solution. Enter that competition, win the gear, continue touring.
