Anyone paying attention to independent bands knows that gear and money get stolen all the time while on the road. The same misfortunes can happen to designers, too.

From the inbox:

Hello everyone. Last night, a friend’s car was broken into and our main computer (a Macbook Pro) and main hard drive were stolen including a a friend’s iPod.

….

We are not asking for donations. What we are asking for is help in a different way. Any purchases you make from our online store help us to recover financially from this tragic event.

So please, check out www.theblackseaonlinestore.com and pick up a shirt or two. It would be greatly appreciated. It will help speed up the process of our new line coming out. We have to redo a lot of the designs because they were all on our hard drive. Our street team database is gone as well as a lot of our contacts.

If you can’t afford anything, maybe just post a bulletin for us. We have a bulletin code on our Myspace in a textbox that you can copy and paste. http://www.myspace.com/blackseaapparel

Thanks so much in advance for your help! We think you will enjoy what we have to offer!
