Only days after frontman Dave Le'aupepe's guitar was damaged in transit, Gang Of Youths have revealed their van has been broken into during their US tour. 

Set to perform in Nashville tonight, the Sydney outfit took to Instagram this morning to confirm their laptops were stolen following the break-in. 

"One broken guitar, van broken into and all our laptops gone, tornado warnings but we’re here Nashville," the post reads. 

It comes after Le'aupepe took aim at US airline Delta for "breaking" his Gretsch guitar. 

The band's overseas run has included critically-acclaimed sets at SXSW, with one reviewer saying, "This Sydney quintet seems capable of playing arenas one day"; check out more reviews here. 

Gang Of Youths will continue to tour throughout the US, UK and Europe over the coming months.
