Guitars Stolen from Public Storage in Gardena, CA - April 2019

GLAMBONE IS CALLING OUT FOR YOUR HELP!!!

Some time between March 30th and April 2nd, the Public Storage unit in Gardena, CA belonging to Kenward Cooper was broken into, 3 of his prized guitars were stolen. The Gretsch guitars (White Falcon II, and Anniversary Model Two-tone Smoke Green) are the instruments he uses on all his music projects - as seen in the Soft Open video for 'My Favorite Records.' 

The Gibson L50 acoustic in particular belonged to his father and is the one thing in his possession to carry him forward with after he’s gone.

We are grateful for NBC News for covering this story. Please share on every social media platform you possibly can to help recover these irreplaceable instruments!!!

Forward any information you have to Kenward or the Los Angeles Police Department:

Kenward of Soft Open interviewed by Jimmy Thrill 2019

Look What The Cat Dragged In, Gentlemen Take Polaroids, Suede, these records normally don’t belong in the same collection. They do if your moniker is Soft Open, and the single/video is called “My Favorite Records.” It’s only music, and music is a mood, and this single celebrates influences and inspirations. Take a bow.

Who is Soft Open you might ask? This is not my beautiful house, this is not my beautiful wife. How did I get here? Or how did Glambone? Long before this podcast/blog I was a kid in the city of Vegas getting my American kix off with weekly trips to the record shop, buying every LP and magazine in sight, until I started my own called Rockstar. Oh, and Mark Slaughter was my guitar teacher.

Jimmy Thrill knows Rockstar Magazine. He was featured in it. Throughout the years we’ve become bros. In this interview we turn the mic around and Jimmy asks me the questions. Stories and facts you may not have known. The slyest rhymes, the sharpest suits, in miracles made real.

From the zine, to my own bands, and projects along the way.  Listen to the interview by

GLAMBONE!
