Stolen Equipment Alert

Posted on May 28, 2006

I don’t normally post information about stolen equipment at the LOUIE REPORT, but this time it’s something that’s way too close for comfort. My friend Alec Palao has been a great ally of LouieLouie.net, and the upcoming MEANING OF LOUIE documetary. Alec has done some superb work with Ace Records, assembling some wonderful CDs- “Love That LOUIE- The Louie Files,” The Wailers “At The Castle/The Wailers & Company” 2-for-1 CD collection, The Sonics “Psycho-Sonic,” as well as various compilations assembled from the Gary Paxton archives. Alec Palao also plays bass with Magic Christian, the Flamin’ Groovies, and Chocolate Watchband.

Please spread the word – the bass in particular is of tremendous sentimental value.

THEFT OF MAGIC CHRISTIAN/FLAMIN’ GROOVIES EQUIPMENT

The following items were stolen from locked car trunk May 26th at approx 2:20 am, in parking lot at 6141 Franklin Ave (at Gower), Hollywood

Rickenbacker 4001 S bass guitar

Point of theft is the parking lot adjacent to the Best Western Hollywood Hills Hotel and 101 Coffee Shop, the latter a known gathering place for musicians. Surveillance footage and the precise nature of the theft suggest it may have been planned. Equipment had been used prior at a Magic Christian show at The Echo in Echo Park.
