Los Angeles (CNN) -- A van loaded with keyboards, guitars, amps and drums used by the 1980s band A Flock of Seagulls was stolen from a southern California hotel over the weekend, police said.
The group parked the van in front of a Downey, California, hotel after their Saturday night gig, according to their representative."Yes, it's all true," lead singer Mike Score told CNN. "The van had all our equipment -- synths, guitars, drums, electronics, clothing -- but most importantly the hard drives containing the files for my new album, which was just about ready to go."Score placed the "quite conservative" value of $70,000 on the stolen hard drive that contained his solo album.Score, a co-founder of the English New Wave group, is the only original member still touring.Their biggest hit was "I Ran (So Far Away)" in 1982.CNN's Jane Caffrey contributed to this report./* push in config for this share instance */cnn_shareconfig.push({"id" : "cnn_sharebar2","url" : "http://www.cnn.com/2013/07/23/showbiz/flock-of-seagulls-theft/index.html","title" : "Thief drives A Flock of Seagulls\' van so far away"});
