After a fantastic show and night in Atlanta, Georgia we headed off to drive overnight to Tampa, Florida. Two of us asleep while two of us shared the drive. After switching over drivers, Tony took the wheel with 2 hours to go. Pulling out to overtake a mac truck, his trailer wandered onto the lane lines at the exact moment we were passing and his rear corner hit our driver side corner at 70mph. Tony managed to keep us upright and got us to the hard shoulder and a safe stop! A couple of head abrasions and some minor bumps later (luckily) we had bent the shell enough so the tyre was free and then with no accelerator pedal, Jeramie managed to drive us into Tampa and we played our show.
The costs of losing shows, paying the liability on insurance before repairing and re-renting in order to complete the tour + the loss of merch sales amounts to more than we can make as touring costs have soared. We don’t want free money, we are just asking our community for some help.
We are grateful for any and all support received and wanted to thank everyone who has reached out to make sure we're ok.
