Arsis - Headlining Tour Not Jeopardized After All


Calling in from a frozen tundra somewhere in Iowa, Arsis frontman/guitarist Jim Malone provides this update:

"Everyone's fine. Hard to believe this happened during the day, but the road is solid ice. The trailer flipped, broke loose of the hitch, and is now stuck in a snow bank. Better the trailer and not us. We're waiting to get it towed, since it's unusable. It's lodged in ice and we can't get to our gear, but we're sure it's all smashed. We need to assess the situation and see how much of our gear still works before we can say anything about finishing out the rest of the tour. We can't afford to buy a new trailer at this point. Again, we apologize to our fans. We'll have an update soon."

Adds bassist Noah Martin:

"We're going to try to find a room up the highway in the next small town. Hopefully we won't have to fight off inbred zombie cannibals? like we need that right now. We are all suuuper pissed that this has happened just as we were getting back on this tour. This sucks a lot of dinosaur dick - and that's a LOT of meat!"

UPDATED on 7 March:

Update by guitarist/vocalist James Malone on Wednesday's "trailer tragedy":

"Things could've been a lot worse, and we came out of this pretty much intact. We have about $1,000 worth of damage to our equipment, though there aren't any heartbreaking losses. Our attitude is pretty good considering what we've been through this past week. We rented a trailer and made it to our show yesterday in Minnesota. The crowd didn't seem to know about the accident, and the show went as well as any show in Minnesota on a Thursday night could've gone. Life is good again."

A photo of the trailer can be viewed here. Fans are encouraged to donate lucky amulets to the band during any upcoming show.

What's with this band and misfortune? They're always missing shows, and they have the worst luck it seems.

What did we learn?

  • Next time you have a flat tyre and you need a bicycle pump, go to Arsis; they sure know how to blow things up.
  • Arsis need to learn how to drive in the snow. Or at least get a decent driver.
  • Arsis should rename to Isis (get it? Ice-is).
  • Despite a flipped trailer, being somewhere in "a frozen tundra somewhere in Iowa" and not having a room yet, Arsis prefer to waste their time and immediately start posting blogs on their MySpace page... (stop being such a dramaqueen, get out of your van, go search a chain and start pulling that trailer out of the snow :)
  • Arsis' bassist should be juridically prohibited to make a single comment ever again.

    Your favorite band sucks.

  • Exactly what I've been wondering as well.

    If I remember correctly, almost every one of their cancellations has been due to snow. See, I told you that shit is evil. xD
