Ann Everton and Brian Daniloski are dear friends of mine and also the excellent performers that make up the group Darsombra. I have written about their specific brand of psychedelic audio-visual space rock here on the blog.
Not long ago they moved into a home in the Garwyn Oaks neighborhood of Baltimore. I have visited their home, and it is located in a seemingly quiet residential part of the city where neighbors tend to know each other. Unfortunately, sometime on May 29, someone kicked in the front door of their home and made off with all the tools the use to create their art.
It is very likely that some of the items taken will be sold quickly for cash. So below is the original posting from Brian listing all that was taken, some of which is quite unique, has been in their family for a long time, and should be fairly easy to spot. Please read on, share this posting and keep your eyes open. If you spot anything, please contact Brian or Ann via the Darsombra Facebook page or through their individual Facebook profiles.
We are saddened to report that our house in the Garwyn Oaks neighborhood of Baltimore city was burglarized yesterday, and almost everything that we use to make our art was stolen.
