Veruca Salt lead singer says trailer full of equipment stolen in Denver

DENVER (KDVR) – Louise Post, the lead singer of the rock band Veruca Salt, told FOX31 a trailer containing instruments, audio equipment and other gear necessary for a concert was stolen from a hotel parking lot early Saturday morning.

Post’s show was part of a solo tour that was in Denver on Saturday. Her and her traveling band managed to continue on without their instruments, according to Post, by renting and borrowing equipment.

“There’s much custom gear involved, treasured instruments, beyond that, extensive audio gear, amplifiers, guitars, consoles,” Post said.

“By renting gear, which is another expense, by borrowing gear from our support band, from other people who are well-meaning and understand what it means for this to happen,” Post said.

Post said a report has been filed with the Denver Police Department and the singer added a reward is being offered for information leading to the recovery of her band’s gear.

Post, along with other musicians performing with her on a tour to promote her solo album “Sleepwalker,” is set to perform in Dallas on Monday.
