Data compiled by Scott Foley, host of Routes and Branches on KRFC.

On this, the final day of 2012, it’s fitting to look back a bit at what we’ve been playing at KRFC over the last 364 days. These reports were run for any album that was released in 2012, which disqualifies anything that saw the light of day in 2011 or 2010 (even if they received more spins that one of these more recent releases).

If you follow local bands on Facebook, you’ve likely discovered news that both Fierce Bad Rabbit and Wire Faces had massive amounts of gear stolen from their practice space over the holidays. Bummer. Read on and spread the list of missing gear below to every musician and fan you know.

According to The Coloradoan’s website, “area musicians quickly volunteered whatever equipment the band needed.” That means FBR will perform at their Saturday 12/29 concert and their highly anticipated New Year’s Eve album release concert. Party on.

But, isn’t there a thief at large? It appears so. Keep an eye out around you and online for the following gear. Spreading the word to your local pawn shops and musicians can greatly increase the chance the stolen gear is returned. Thanks to SpokesBUZZ for making this list available and for everything they do to support musicians in the community.
