Help The Prids
One of Portland's finest bands, the dark-pop outfit The Prids were involved in a very serious van accident outside of Fresno, CA.
David, Mistina, Joey and Maile - and two of their significant others - Kristin and Chris - were in a serious accident early Sunday evening while en route to Los Angeles on tour. A tire blew, they lost control of the van and it rolled several times.
David was airlifted from the scene of the crash, he suffered a broken collar bone, broken ribs and has 6 staples in his head. Chris broke his arm, and they are waiting for MRI results to determine if he's sustained a spinal injury. Maile has a broken vertebra and toe and a severe cut with stitches on her knee. Joey broke ribs, Mistina suffered a concussion, and as far as I know Kristin is in similar shape.
As of late tonight, everyone but Chris has been released from the hospital, and they are staying at a hotel in Fresno.
A special paypal account has been set up to help out and donate directly to The Prids.

MTV + Portland
Portland is a great city it is tough to think of a better place to live, so many great bands and musicians of all styles. Looks like the ones over at MTV are catching on and spreading the word about the greatness of our home town. They interviewed a few bands such as The Thermals, Menomena, Panther and Steven Malkmus.
Oh Darling + Derby
We had such a great time on the road with Derby last week, good to play in the NorthWest. Loaded up the Derby van with one set of gear and seven of us, packed in and laughing all the way. Like we said before trying new ways to get around and play shows without spending a zillion dollars on fuel, traveling together with our friends seems like the way to go.
We got home on Sunday and headed straight to PDX got on a plane to Los Angeles, spent two crazy, fun and productive days there. Now we are back home in Portland, a little tired but in a good way.
We have a some great shows in Portland in early August, hope to see you out there.
All our love,
the darlings
