Guitarist Ian MacDougall of Riverboat Gamblers was hit by a car while riding his bike home Saturday night. A message from the band and information on how to help with his medical expenses can be found here.
Had $3 left in my paypal. Donated. Not much but ive never even listened to this band. Im lucky for free healthcare in my country so might as well help out someone in need.
I can't even begin to think of the number of times I've almost been hit by some asshole not paying attention the what they're doing. It sucks that this had to happen to him. I hope the dick that ran off gets what he deserves.
What's up with these bands getting themselves into shit and asking everyone for money.
Next time I can't pay my rent, I'm going to email every label I can think of and have them ask if any bands on their roster would consider chipping a few bucks my way for living expenses.
