for anyone who witnessed what took place at the show in san diego last night and yet is still somewhat confused:
during our second song david was struck in the face with mikes bass mid swing.although that seems like something that is quite normal and not too rare the results were actually quite catastrophic.david was knocked out for longer than previous times this has happened.when he awoke he was spitting blood out in large amounts.we cleaned him up only to find that a hole had been ripped in his cheek.it basicly looks as though he was pierced with a serrated knitting needle.in 100% honesty it was a pretty brutal site.somehow he managed to get up and finish the set but by the end the whole right side of his face was swolen to the point where he could barely open his right eye.he was taken to the hospital immediately.he was treated and received a cat scan and was prescribed some pretty heavy antibiotics and heavy painkillers.it turns out because of the hole,air had gotten into his skin and puffed him out all the way from his collar bone up to above his eye socket.its early now and david has just woken up but his exact quote was "i feel like 200 pounds of bird shit".it hurts for him to swallow and needless to say hes pretty bummed out.he is unsure of whether he will be able to play tonight.we as a band hate canceling shows more than anything and david is the last to stand down because of pain,but if it hurts him bad enough to where he doesnt think he can do it his safety comes first.well try and keep you updated and we apoliogize in advance if we cannot play tonight.again,we will only not play if it is 100% detrimental to davids health.remember, it is a hole in his face that you could fit a small rodent through.its not a scratch.thankyou for understanding and enjoy the rest of the bands!
