View Full Version : Keyboard Stolen At A Show

Travis Bryant (ex-Terminal) had his keyboard stolen over the weekend while playing an acoustic show in San Antonio, Texas. He sent out the message below via MySpace."An hour ago, we arrived home from playing our acoustic show in san antonio. it is now with all the sincerity i have to offer that i let you all know how awful i feel. i had really looked forward to this weekend's opportunity to play some old songs with my best friend. there is no greater feeling than raising my voice along side you guys as we share the only thing that i have to offer anyone. sadly, all i feel now is disgusted, disrespected, and terribly disappointed. why? although the performances in dallas and san antonio were by no means perfect due to limited time for preparation, there are only a handful of times i have enjoyed myself more onstage. what brings me down today is one human being's lack of respect or consideration for another.
last night, the red $2,000 nord electro 2 keyboard that we were using for the shows was stolen at the venue. the instrument didn't belong to either of us. it was lent to us by our friend, rachel from the gazelles. if you reside in san antonio, please help me by keeping an eye out for it in music shops, at shows, and on ebay. the financial responsibility of replacing the stolen item now rests on two starving musicians that barely have money to eat.
I suppose the only way to end this on a quasi-positive note is to thank all of you who did come out to the shows and didnt steal our things. despite the world's ability to be extremely disappointing, i will always consider myself blessed by your appreciation and will keep you as the strength it takes to push through the lows for as long as you will listen. if anyone reading this knows the person who is responsible for taking the keyboard/ me feeling the need to write this painfully long message, encourage he/she/whatever to stop being a piece of shit.
sincerely,
travis"

I hope they find who stole the keyboard and then proceed to stomp their face in. People who do this kind of crap don't deserve a life.
God people are so fucking lame, I can't believe people witness this shit happening live and do nothing about it.

It's a good thing Goodbye Tomorrow's full-length album is going to blow away the indie/alternative/ambient/mellow music scenes when released, otherwise Travis would never be able to pay off this debt.
Seriously, he's such a talented musician, yet he seems to be having the worst of luck in the music industry. I wish him the best of luck finding and castrating the inconsiderate dolt who stole his keyboard. In the meantime, he needs to keep writing and singing beautiful music. He has a loyal fanbase who's followed him through Terminal, his solo days, and now into Goodbye Tomorrow. Hopefully it will continue to grow in size until he finally gets the attention and respect he deserves. Amen.
