Van Crash

April 10, 2009

Good evening all.

Just a quick note to explain our absence in Stuttgart tonight.

Today whilst driving up autobahn 7 towards Stuttgart for the fifth gig of our current European tour our back tyre exploded, sending us skidding around the motorway and full pelt into the barrier at the side of the road. Miraculously, everyone in the van escaped unharmed, and we’re now lodged up in the small town of Memmingen trying to make the necessary arrangements to get back on the road, deal with insurance companies, and solve the problem of a somewhat battered Mercedes Sprinter.

We are forever grateful to Gavin, our driver, for taking control of the situation perfectly, to the German police and breakdown men who helped us, and to Thomas, who pulled over right away.

We’ll keep you updated.

Many thanks.

Dartz.
