The Cab Accident

The Cab Is On Petes Label....
DecayDance which where in a bad accident earlier today, Please read there blog from there myspace page.
Dear Friends, Family, and Fans...This morning at around 3 AM, our van slid on a patch of ice on a highway in Wisconsin. The van flipped a few times, and our trailer and van both ended practically upside down in the median of the freeway. I was sleeping in the backseat and was awaken by screaming and yelling, and before I could think or see what was going on the van was rolling and everything AND everyone were flying through the van. The van's TV hit Marshall in the face oushing his teeth through his front lip. My foot was smashed between a guitar amp head and a shattered window, and behind my knee was sliced really deep from broken glass. Cash hurt his knee, and our good friend and tech Drew got pretty beat up and had to get his face glued back together in several faces. Our drummer Alex, also got pretty beat up, as some of our faces were dragged across the highway and snow as we rolled. I am not trying to be too detailed or graphic, but I just want to be honest with you before rumors start flying around about the sitaution. I want everyone to know the truth and exactly what happened. The nurses and doctors in the E.R. were nothing short of amazing to us, and we want to say thanks to the firemen, medics, and strangers who assisted us through the horrible accident. This crash was horrible. Our equipment is ruined, our personal belongings were lost and broken, and our bodies our pretty beat up. However, we are alive and able to walk away from the whole thing. Other people and bands have not been so lucky. We are so grateful to be alive and to all be in our hotels right now resting. I speak for myself and the band when I say that I would like to take this time to thank all of you. Our friends...our family...our fans. You have all been so supportive and we are doing our best to make you proud. Thank you for the phone calls, the web posts, the hugs, and everything else. YOU give us the strength to go on. The Really Really Ridiculously Good Looking tour has been amazng. The fans have really blown us away and the other bands have been extremely generous and fun. We will not let this wreck stop us. We are taking a few days to get our gear in order and to get another van, and then we will be right back on the road ready to play our asses off for you, even if we have to go onstage with casts, scars, and bruises. We wouldn't be able to do it without you. Each and everyone of you and the people that helped us this morning truly are our guardian angels, and we are more thankful for you then you know. We can't wait to post new music soon...we promise we are just excited as you. Thank you all so much again. This blog isn't for sympathy..this blog is just to let you know what's going on in the most honest way possible. We will see you on the road! Also, please be very safe. The roads and weather have been extremely dangerous as of late and we just want to make sure that no one doesn't have to go through what we did. Please just be safe. Wear your seatbelts, dont drink and drive, and drive extra cautious. We love you all and I will be sure to update you guys as soon as I can to let you know what's going on and to keep you in the loop. See you at the shows...Thank you for being our wings when we needed to fly.
