KILL HANNAH
TOUR VAN STOLEN IN PHILADELPHIA

REMAINING U.S. FALL TOUR DATES CANCELED

SEVENTH ANNUAL “NEW HEART FOR XMAS” SHOWS
STILL SET FOR CHICAGO THIS DECEMBER

 Chicago nu romantics KILL HANNAH woke up on the eve of wrapping their fall tour with Jet, Papa Roach and Morningwood to a find their 15-passenger van and 14-foot trailer stolen. Taken between 4am and 11am today, Wednesday, November 11 from the front of the Holiday Inn on 900 Packer Ave, Philadelphia, PA—the same location that rock trio Mae had their van stolen from just a week earlier—the band lost over $120,000 in gear and merchandise, including one-of-a-kind vintage custom guitars and vintage custom effects. The theft comes just over a year after a devastating fire in Europe destroyed everything on the band’s bus.  

Lead singer Mat Devine says, "We’re devastated and speechless. We've been touring so hard around the world for the past seven years and this is the most evil thing we've witnessed. Special Crimes say this was a coordinated heist.”

The band regretfully has to cancel their remaining tour dates, scheduled for the Electric Factory in Philadelphia tonight and the Nokia Theatre in New York City tomorrow. Their seventh annual “New Heart For Xmas” weekend of shows and events are still scheduled in Chicago on December 18 at Reggie’s Rock Club and December 19 at Metro.

Rising out of Chicago’s underground over a decade ago, KILL HANNAH still maintains the romance and ferocity that has always defined them. The band introduced their fifth album, the self-produced and deeply personal WAKE UP THE SLEEPERS, to their stalwart fans this fall with a determined eye focused on new converts. KILL HANNAH hold tight to their relentless D.I.Y. attitude with the new release, teaming with Original Signal Recordings–an independent label that fosters true partnerships with each artist on their roster and embraces a progressive, long-term outlook. From the driving pulse of first single “New York City Speed” to the euphoric rise of “Strobe Lights,” the album blends dance infused electronic beats mixed with captivating vocal melodies and guitars that feature both powerful and delicate moments  to create its unique rock sound.
 
Lead singer Mat Devine has also found a huge following with his personal advice blog for fans on Fuse.tv called “The Raccoon Society.” The blog features a number of celebrity guest bloggers and can be read at: http://fuseblog.typepad.com/kill_hannah.
