Colette Claire of The Gauntlet recently chatted with Katatonia frontman Jonas at the Hollywood, CA stop of the U.S. tour. When the topic of stolen gear came up, Jones stated “It was a drag but luckily we have the guitars back now.” He went on to say “the police caught the guy oh wait actually he turned himself in. I think he felt the pressure from all our fans because we put out notifications and messages all over our website and stuff saying keep your eyes open, dude just turn yourself in, your going down and there’s no way your going to get away with this. He voluntarily turned in the guitars with the police and acted just like a little coward… so good for us. The focus was always to have them back on the road and also to give them to our fans because they are not our guitars there going to be competition prizes at the end of the
tour.
You’ll be able to watch the entire interview later this week.
