The Menendez Brothers plea for return of stolen DJ bag containing USBs with unreleased music

The Menendez Brothers have put out a plea for the return of a stolen DJ bag containing USBs with “years of collected music” and unreleased tracks.

The duo shared a video of the bag being taken from the DJ booth just “minutes” after their performance at London nightclub fabric had begun on Sunday, May 24.

The video shows the headphones being removed from the bag, which was then placed in front of the decks before an attendee grabs it from the booth just seconds later.

The duo appealed for the bag to be returned alongside the video, explaining: “On Sunday night, as we came on to close Room 1 at fabric for Les Amis x Andre Power, within a couple of minutes our DJ bag was swiped.”

“Inside were lots of USB’s filled with years of collected music, but more importantly, lots of new unreleased music we have been working on,” they added.

They went on to explain that there is a “very clear image of the perpetrator’s face”, but asked that anyone who knows the punter to come forward so they “don’t have to release” the photo, adding that they will remove the post once the bag and its contents are returned.

In a “final plea” shared on Instagram on Sunday, June 1, the duo said: “We have patiently waited for the woman or her friends to come forward and do the right thing, but still we have heard nothing back.”

They shared a photo of the alleged perpetrator, and asked again for anyone with information to come forward, or for anyone who knows the attendee to get in contact.
